[Intro]
| Em | D | C | Am B |

[Verse 1]
Em                                           D When all the worst we fear lets fall its weight
                                      CWhen the gyre widens on and when the wave breaks
                                   AmWhen St. Peter loses cool and bars the gates
     B                                EmWhen Atlas acts the maggot, makes his arms shake
                                        DWhen the birds are heard again in their singin'
                                COnce atrocity is hoarse from voicin' shame
                                              AmAnd when the earth is trembling on some new beginnin'
         B                           C6With the same sweet shock of when Adam first came

[Pre-Chorus]
EmBe, be, be, be, be
GBe as you've always been
CBe, be, be, be, be
AmBe as you've always been
(Lover, be good to me)

[Chorus 1]
Em Be as you've always been (Lover, be good to me)
G Be like the love that discovered the sin (Lover, be good to me)
     C                            AmThat freed the first man and will do so again
     EmAnd, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Em Be that hopeful feeling when Eden was lost (Lover, be good to me)
     GIt's been deaf to our laughter since the master was crossed (Lover, be good to me)
      C                       AmWhich side of the wall really suffers that cost?
    EmOh, lover, be good to me

[Instrumental]
| Em | D |

[Verse 2]
           EmWhen the man who gives the order
   DIs born next time 'round on the boat sent back
         CWhen the bodies starvin' at the border
       Am                   BAre on TV givin' people the sack
             EmOh, when the sea rises to meet us
                 DOh, when there's nothin' left for you and I to do
                   COh, when there's nobody upstairs to receive us
            Am                           B    C6When I have no kind words left, love for you

[Pre-Chorus]
EmBe, be, be, be, be
GBe as you've always been
CBe, be, be, be, be
AmBe as you've always been
(Lover, be good to me)

[Chorus 2]
  EmAh, be love in its disrepute (Lover, be good to me)
G Scorches the hillside and salts every root (Lover, be good to me)
    C                        AmAnd watches the slowin' and starvin' of troops
     EmAnd, lover, be good to me (Lover, be good to me)
Em Be there and just as you stand (Lover, be good to me)
G Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand (Lover, be good to me)
               C                    AmThat will grow bold in a barren and desolate land
    EmOh, lover, be good to me

[Outro]
                EmLove, won't you be
Love, won't you be
             GBe as you've always been?
                CLove, won't you be
                AmLove, won't you be
             EmBe as you've always been?
                EmLove, won't you be
Love, won't you be
             GBe as you've always been?
                CLove, won't you be
                AmLove, won't you be
             Em            EmBe as you've always been?
