Dm
"Take me again," She said
Am Walk up Cadd5
Thinking of him, "To the pond with the swans
G
And the swimming.
Repeat like that through the verse. Here are the rest of the lyrics:
Far from his room, that familiar perfume
How it left her aware she was naked.
The lesson she learned
When her memory slurs
Is to marvel with love at the sunset
But walkin' away's the dark end of the day
She will measure and break like a habit.

Oh how the rain sounds as loud as a lover's words.
F G C C/B Am
Now and again, shes afraid when the sun returns.
Then into the end of the verse riff into the main riff. I'm sorry,
I dont know the solo.
Continued lyrics:
"Take me again," she said thinking of him
"I don't care for this careful behavior."
A brush through her hair,
Children kissin' up stairs
Keeps her up with a want for a savior.
Sun on the sand,
On her knees and her hand
As she begs for a fish from the water.
Turn them away, shes a whip and a slave
Given time she may find something better.
CHORUS.
