intro:
 
Em|C|G|D| Em|C|G|D|
 
 
The rope that’s wrapped around me
    Em                  C
Is cutting through my skin
   G                  D G D
And the doubts that have surrounded me
       Em               C
Are finding their way in
    G                D G D
I keep it close to me
        Em         C
Like a holy man prays
        G         D
In my desperate hour
      Em           C
It’s better that way
     G            D
So I’ll come by and see you again
   Em               C
I’ll be such a very good friend
   G                      D
Have mercy on my soul
    Em           C
I will never let you know
   G                D
Where my mind has been
   Am              D
 
 Angels never came down
Em|C|G        D
There’s no one here they want to hang around
        Em     C          Am           D
But if they knew
 Em          C
If they knew you at all
        G           D
Then one by one the angels
 Em                 C
Angels would fall
 G              Em
 
I’ve crept into your temple
     Em             C
I have slept upon your pew
     G                D G D
I’ve dreamed of the divinity
  Em             C
Inside and out of you
           G      D G D
I want it more than truth
  Em                C
I can taste it on my breath
   C                 D
I would give my life just for a little death
        Em       C              G      D
 
So I’ll come by and see you again
      Em     C         G      D
I’ll be just a very good friend
    Em               C
I will not look upon your face
      G               D
I will not touch upon your grace
   Em             C
Your ecclesiastic skin
   G               D
 
I’ll come by and see you again
     Em   C       G      D
I’ll have to be a very good friend
   Em       C     G         D
If I whisper they will know
 E            C       D
I’ll just turn around and go
          Em         C
You will never know my sin
                      Em

 The Whole Song is pretty Much just a variation Of those chords.




The rope that''s wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It''s better that way
So I''ll come by and see you again
I''ll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
Angels never came down
There''s no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew
If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
I''ve crept into your temple
I have slept upon your pew
I''ve dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
So I''ll come by and see you again
I''ll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
I''ll come by and see you again
I''ll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I''ll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
