Version 1This is a gorgeous song, played in 6/4 time, very slowly. Forgive the funny spacing, I've tried to lay out the chords in correspondence to the words. You really have to hear the song to get it precise though. [Intro] C Fm C Fm C Am G C [Verse 1] C Fm So be it I'm your crowbar C Fm If that's what I am so far C Am G C Until you get out of this mess C Fm And I will pretend C Fm That I don't know of your sins C Am Gm F Until you are ready to confess [Chorus] F Dm F7 D7 But all the time, all the time C F C F I'll know, I'll know C Fm And you can use my skin C Fm To bury secrets in C Am G C And I will settle you down C Fm And at my own suggestion C Fm I will ask no questions C Am Gm F While I do my thing in the background F Dm F7 D7 But all the time, all the time C F7 C F7 I'll know, I'll know [Bridge] E Am (two measures each chord) E Am Baby -- I can't help you out F7 C7 While she's still around C Fm C So for the time being C Fm C Am G C I'm being patient C Fm And amidst this bitterness C Fm If you'll just consider this C Am Gm Fmaj7 Even if it don't make sense Dm F7 D7 All the time, give it time C Fm C And when the crowd becomes your burden Fm C And you've early closed your curtain Am G C I'll wait by the backstage door C Fm While you try to find C Fm The lines to speak your mind C Am Gm F And pry it open hoping for an encore Dm F7 D7 And if it gets too late for me to wait C Em C For you to find you love me, and tell me so Am D F7 G It's ok, don't need to say it... [Outro] C Fm (six measures, ending on C)
