verse 1:
E              A9
No one would love me
         E                       A9
If they knew all the things I hide

verse 2: 

My words fall to the floor 
As tears drip through the telephone line 

refrain:
B9                        A9
And the hands I've seen raised to the sky 
B9                  A9
Not waving but drowning all this time 
B9                  A9
I'll try to build the ark that they need 
E                                 A9
To float to you upon the crystal sea 

chorus:
               E       A9
Give me your hand to hold 
             E            A9
'Cause I can't stand to love alone 
            E            A9            E
And love alone is not enough to hold us up 
               A           B9         A
We've got to touch your robe 
                             
So swing your robe down low 
Swing your robe down low 

verse2:
The prince of despair's been beaten 
But the loser still fights 
Death's on a long leash 
Stealing my friends to the night 

refrain2:
And everyone cries for the innocent 
You say to love the guilty, too 
And I'm surrounded by suffering and sickness 
So I'm working tearing back the roof
