Bb F A F


[Verse]
   F
She stands before you naked
You can see it, you can taste it
                                  C
But she comes to you light as the breeze
          C7
You can drink or you can nurse it
It don't matter how you worship
                             F
As long as you're down on your knees

     F
So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
                                C
At the cradle of the river and the seas
            C7
And like a blessing come from heaven,
For something like a second,
                                F
I was healed, and my heart was at ease

[Chorus]
    A
Oh baby I waited
    Dm
So long for your kiss
    A
For something to happen
Bb                    F A Dm Bb  Bb A Gm
Oh, something like this

[Verse]
            F
And you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
                             C
And the wind going wild in the trees
          C7
And it's not exactly prison
But you'll never be forgiven
                               F
For whatever you've done with the keys

[Chorus]
    A
Oh baby I waited
    Dm
So long for your kiss
    A
For something to happen
Bb                    F A Dm Bb  Bb A Gm
Oh, something like this

[Verse]
      F
It's dark and it's snowing
Oh my love, I must be going
                        C
The river is starting to freeze
         C7
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
                        F
I've lived too long on my knees

          F
And she dances so graceful
And your heart's hard and hateful
                                   C
And she's naked, but that's just a tease
          C7
And you turn in disgust
From your hatred and from your love
                                F
And she comes to you light as the breeze

[Chorus]
    A
Oh baby I waited
    Dm
So long for your kiss
    A
For something to happen
Bb               F A Dm Bb b A Gm
Oh, something like this

[Verse]
        G
There's blood on every bracelet
You can see it, you can taste it
                                  D
And it's please baby, please baby, please
               D7
And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
But don't forget there's still a woman
                           G
Beneath this resplendent chemise

     G
So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and omega
                           D
I knelt there like one who believes
             D7
And like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
                               G
I was cured, and my heart was at ease

[Chorus]
 B
Oh baby I waited
   Em
So long for your kiss
    B
For something to happen
 C                   G   C
Oh, something like this
            G       B  Em
Something like this
Am      C             G
Oh, something like this
