Am           C            F          CYou said I'd never understand the pain
     G         Am           F            G Or share the shame but you know that I wanted to


[Chorus]

Am        C      FBut you gave me hope
             CAnd now you take it away
G     Am     FYou took my love
            GAnd now you celebrate
Am         C      FWhen the morning comes
      C       GNo I don't believe
        Am          FThat my god, oh my god
              GHow could you take her from me?

Am        C            F          CAnd so I told and the sisters of mercy came

Am       C                F    C   If Mary knew how she was being used,
     G      Am                F      GSo misconstrued, how you were being used

            GAnd now you celebrate
Am         C      FWhen the morning comes
      C       GNo I don't believe
        Am          FThat my god, oh my god
