A5    Em           D 
Holy Mother of the simple one, 
A5       Em              D 
When you smile at me you bring me down, 
A5     Em     D 
You betray your thoughts. 
A5      Em        D 
All your prayers to naught. 

A5      Em           D 
Now out of debt, you speak in tongues, 
A5      Em            D 
And out of bread, your work is done, 
A5      Em      D 
And your dream, absolve. 
A5      Em        D 
And your path, dissolve.
