[Verse 1]
D             Dsus4             D              Bm
Austere enthroned in white grandeur
D                         D
But tired a shift
Dsus4                         D             Bm
A whisper of where you sailed ahead
D             Bm
From your eyes
Bm                                     D
I’d never seen you unkempt before
Bm                                                             D
As you whispered “Darling close the door

D             Dsus4             D/E                         Bm
Well how, have I not made a note of every word
D
You ever said
D             Dsus4             D/E
Time, is not on our side
Bm             D             Bm
But I pretend that it’s alright
Bm                                     D
She says the Lord has a plan
Bm                                                 D
But admits it’s pretty hard to understand

[Refrain]
Bm/G             Bm                       D                         G
Before you leave you must know you are beloved
Bm                                     D                         G
And before you leave, remember I was with you

[Verse 2]
D
Are you afraid
Bm
How ever could you not be
D
In this rosy light
D
This is strange
D/F#                         Bm
I feel a hand come through the mirror
D             Bm
Pointing at the light
Bm                                     D
Pointing at the light we never see
Bm                         D                         D/F#
As you put your feathered arms over me

[Refrain]
Bm             D                         D/F#                         G
Before you leave you must know you are beloved
Bm             D                         D/F#                         G
And before you leave remember I was with you
Bm
And as you leave
D             D/F#                         G
I won’t hold you back beloved
Bm Bm/A G G/F# Bm Bm/A G

[Bridge]
Bm
You sit
D                         G                         Bm
And talk the stars down from the sky
Bm                                     D                         G
Down there, forget the chaos in your eyes love

[Refrain]
Bm             D                         D/F#             G
And as you leave you must know you are beloved
Bm                         D                         D/F#                         G
And as you leave I can see the wild has come for you
Bm                         D             D/F#                         G
And as you leave I won’t hold you back beloved
Bm                         D                         D/F#                       G
And as you leave see my children playing at your feet
