Am             Em                F 
My precious wife, I am in shambles 
I am crumbling, I am 

Am                 Em 
Was it something I did 
                F 
Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up 

Am          Em 
I can fix it, I swear 
F 
If you trust me 
       Am         Em               F 
I am old and I am rusting but I care 
I care 


Am  Em  F 


(same chords as previous verse) 

My precious wife, we made a promise 
Pledged our flesh to be one 
How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children 
I believe in it still 
It has faltered and it has faded 
But I know it's there 
It's there 

                  Am 
And how'd it change 
            Em 
The way you thought of me 
     F 
How strange to think we once were lovers 
Am                    Em 
Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass 
F                              Am 
And when you speak my name you shudder 
               Em                     F 
My precious wife, believe I'll save this 

I'll revive it, I will 
Am            Em               F 
We've built a family from this marriage 
Why would you tear it apart? 

Am  Em F (2x) 

Am 
Speak now, precious 
             F 
Your silence screams 

You're giving in to your failure 
C                                                        Em 
Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever 
                         E                      Am 
Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind 

Am 
Oh husband, I could not control it 
F 
Husband, I could not abstain 
C 
One cannot stop the wind from blowing 
Em    E 
Nor refuse the falling rain 
Am 
Love stirred up a storm inside me 
F 
Wrapped its arms around my waist 
C            Em               E 
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 
Sure as the rain will fall 
Em             E 
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        E               Am 
There was nothing I could do
