Blame

I[C] know you must know it [G]now
M[Em]y warnings have stoned  [D]
My[C] fingers are numb around[G]
Yo[Em]ur warm, pulsing throa[D]t
An[C]d I whispered, "My wife[G],"
Sh[Em]e opened her pale ey[D]es
She[C] smiled, so I smiled[G]
An[Em]d I got what I deser[D]ved

This house was my flowered heart
But my petals have fallen
Do you love him, tell me now,
Or I'll show you my scars
An[G]d you will bow boldly[C]   [G]
An[G]d tell me you're sorry [C]    [G]
B[G]ut you're hardly moving[C]  [G]
Wa[G]ke up and give me what I know [D]I deser[C]ve

Farmer's wife heard it from the street down below
And later fully recalled each harrowing note
And yeah, she cried,
"Holy Spirit has cursed me."
And for this my ending sooner than you
Thought I would deserve"

The children weren't lucky to have only used ears
As I stood on top of him looking down,
I felt the fear in their skin as they plead,
"Father, did you kill our leader?
Our rock and great teacher?
What did he deserve?"
And I replied,
"No, killed my leeches.
And the wound that is ? is.
I hope you can see it
for what I deserve."

The judge would ask, "Why again, was it him and not her?"
The only thing I could think was, "To settle my nerves."
Try killing my leeches for sucking me speechless
And abandoning secrets and trust all the same
So I deserve what I deserve
So I deserve what I deserve

Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
Ooooh
