your funny mouth to the clouds

I want to be your lover

Who could ask to be unbroken or be brave again
C                         Em                         F
Or, honey, hope even on this side of the grave again?
F                                                 G
And who could ask you to be sound or to feel saved again
C                                 Em                         F
Or stick around until you hear that music play again?

[Chorus]
