C#m                                                   F#m 
Tell me again when I've been to the river and I've taken the edge off my thirst 
C#m                                             F#m 
Tell me again we're alone & I'm listening I'm listening so hard that it hurts 


A 
Tell me again when I'm clean and I'm sober 
E 
Tell me again when I've seen through the horror 
B                       A 
Tell me again tell me over and over 
Ab7 
Tell me you want me then 
C#m     F#m    C#m    F#m 
Amen 

Tell me again when the victims are singing 
And Laws of Remorse are restored 
Tell me again that you know what I'm thinking 
But vengeance belongs to the lord 

Chorus 

Tell me again when the day has been ransomed and night has no right to begin 
Try  me again when the angels are panting and scratching the door to come in 


Chorus 

Tell me again when the filth of the butcher is washed in the blood of the lamb 
Tell me again when the rest of the culture has passed thru' the Eye of the Camp 

Chorus
