Cm7   Cm7/Ab   

       Cm7        I have been to the shadowland
  Cm7/Ab I heard the empty call
   Cm7/Fof hatred, anorexia
Cm7/Ab             Gm/BMisery and alcohol

         Cm7By their hearths I warmed myself
     Cm7/AbTo escape from the winter years
        Cm7/FUntil I saw in the window
       Cm7/Ab                  Gm/BMyself crying fire-coloured tears

CmLove, the only alchemy
Cm/AbLove, the killer of despair
Cm/FLove, the patient samurai
Cm/Ab                      Gm/BLove, the armour angels wear
Cm        Cm7/Ab Love

     Cm7They turned away the prophet
                Cm7/AbBecause she was young and full of longing
             Cm7/FInstead they turned to the magistrate
        Cm7/Ab        Gm/BWho was busy yawning

         Cm7And they try to sell me holy books
          Cm7/AbBut I can see their eyes are wild
              Cm7/FI caught them pouring shame and fear
         Cm7/Ab                  Gm/BInto the perfect vessel of a child

CmBue love's the only alchemy
Cm/AbLove, the killer of despair
Cm/FLove, the true nobility
Cm/Ab                       Gm/BLove, the armour angels wear
Cm       Love

Cm7/AbLove will make your eyes clear
Cm7/FThe order of the universe
Cm7/Ab                      Cm7The only reason we are here
