Oh the Ctears that you weep
For the [Cm+7]poor tortured souls
Who [B#m]fall at your feet
With their c7love begging bowls
All the [B#m]clerks and the tailors
The Gsharks and the sailors
All Cgood at their trades
But they'll f7always be failures

intro

CAlms for the poor
For the [Cm+7]wretched disciples
And the [B#m]love that they swore
With their c7hearts on the Bible
[B#m]Beseeching the honour
To Gsit at your table
And Cfeast on your holiness
As f7long as they're able

[Cm+7]Love needs its martyrs
[B#m6]Needs its sacrifices
cThey live for your beauty
[Gm+7]And pay for their vices
[Cm+7]Love will be the death of
[B#m6]My lonely soul brothers
cBut their spirit shall live on in
[Gm+7]The hearts of all lovers

CYou're holding court
With your [Cm+7]lips and your smile
Your [B#m]body's a halo
Their c7minds are on trial
Sure as [B#m]Adam is Eve
Sure as GJonah turned whaler
CThey're crooked love thieves
And f7you are their jailor

comment: well, just look above...
Love needs its martyrs
Needs its sacrifices
They live for your beauty
And pay for their vices
Love will be the death of
My lonely soul brothers
But their spirit shall live on in
The hearts of all lovers
