[Verse 1]
G G#m Am G#m Am
Do you remember all of those pledges
G G#m Am G#m Am
That we pledged in the passionate night
C G F# G
Ah they're soiled now, they're torn at the edges
Cm G#7 A# G#7 G7
Like moths on a stale yellow light
G G#m Am G#m Am
No penance serves to renew them
G G#m Am G#m Am
No massive transfusions of trust
C G F# G
Why not even revenge can undo them
Cm G
So twisted these vows and so crushed
[Chorus]
G Bb
And you say you've been humbled in love
F
Cut down in your love
Bb F
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me
Bb F
Ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
Am E
Who kneels there as deeply as thee

[Verse 2]
G G#m Am G#m Am
Children have taken these pledges
G G#m Am G#m Am
They have ferried them out of the past
C G F# G
Oh beyond all the graves and the hedges
Cm G#7 A# G#7 G7
Where love must go hiding at last
G G#m Am G#m Am
And here where there is no description
G G#m Am G#m Am
Oh here in the moment at hand
C G F# G
No sinner need rise up forgiven
Cm G
No victim need limp to the stand
[Chorus]
G Bb
And you say you've been humbled in love
F
Cut down in your love
Bb F
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me
Bb F
Ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
Am E
Who kneels there as deeply as thee

[Verse 3]
G G#m Am G#m Am
And look dear heart, look at the virgin
G G#m Am G#m Am
Look how she welcomes him into her gown
C G F# G
Yes, and mark how the stranger's cold armour
Cm G#7 A# G#7 G7
Dissolves like a star falling down
G G#m Am G#m Am
Why trade this vision for desire
G G#m Am G#m Am
When you may have them both
C G F# G
You will never see a man this naked
Cm G
I will never hold a woman this close
[Chorus]
G Bb
And you say you've been humbled in love
F
Cut down in your love
Bb F
Forced to kneel in the mud next to me
Bb F
Ah but why so bitterly turn from the one
Am E
Who kneels there as deeply as thee
