[Verse]
Am
Come, my dear,
    C               F
and be a part of my home
Am                 C
Missing stitch and flowers
        F
on a headstone
   Am
But I will crawl like a
C                 F
sinner to be at your feet
      Am
Should God or the devil
C              F
ever ask for me

[Chorus]
G       Am C F
Oh, my love
G       Am C F
Oh, my love

[Verse]
Am
Take my word,
     C               F
but keep the upper hand
Am
I know you, you're the
  C               F
daughter of a lonely man
   Am                 C
So let my hope grow cold
             F
and atrophy
        Am                 C
'Cause there is no more room
              F
in your heart for me

[Chorus]
G       Am C F
Oh, my love
G       Am C F
Oh, my love
G       Am C F
Oh, my love
G       Am C F
Oh, my love

[Verse]
Am                 C
Come, my dear, and drink
          F
while the water's still cold
Am                 C
I am naught but a scar
            F
upon your breastbone
   Am                 C
So kiss me quick, steal
              F
every secret I keep, I keep
Am                 C
You can have anything
             F
that you want from me

[Chorus]
G       Am C F
Oh, my love

Oh, my love

Oh, my love
