My precious wife, I am in shambles I am crumbling, I am
Am Em F
Was it something I did that bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up
Am Em F
I can fix it, I swear, If you trust me. I am old
Am Em F
and I am rusting but I care I care

Am Em F
My precious wife, we made a promise,
Am Em F
Pledged our flesh to be one
Am Em F
How can you doubt a love that
Am Em F
stood so proud as we raised our children?
Am Em F
I believe in it still
Am Em F
It has faltered and it is failing
Am Em F
But I know it's there
Am Em F
It's there and how it changed
Cm Gm Bb
The way you thought of me
Cm Gm F
How strange to think we once were lovers
Cm Gm Bb
Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass
Cm Gm F
And when you speak my name you
Cm Gm Bb
shudder. My precious wife, believe I'll save this
Cm Gm F
I'll revive it, I will
Cm Gm Bb
We've built a family from this
Cm Gm F
marriage. Why would you tear it apart?

Am
Speak now, precious. Your silence screams. You're giving in to your failure
F
Hear me, that promise that you made was meant to keep
C Em C E7
forever. Until we die, you're not allowed to change your
Am
mind. Oh husband, I could not control it
F
Husband, I could not abstain
C Em C E7
One cannot stop the wind from blowing nor refuse the falling rain
Am
Love stirred up a storm
F
inside me. Wrapped its arms around my
C Em C E7
waist. I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry
Am
But there was nothing I could do
F
No, there was nothing I could do
C Em C E7
Sure as the rain will fall, Some love just fails
Am
There was nothing I could do
F
There was nothing I could do
C
There was nothing I could do
Em C E7 Am
There was nothing I could do
