The Messenger by Daniel Lanois

Intro: Am Em F G Am C F


Am Em F G
Got a letter from a messenger
Am C F
I read it when it came
Am Em F G

It said that you were wanted
Am C F
You were bound and chained

C F
You had loved and you were handled
C G
You were poisoned you were pained
Am F G C
Oh no, Oh no you were naked you were shamed

Am Em F G
You could almost touch heaven
Am C F
Right there in front of you
Am Em F G
Liberty just slipped away from us
Am C F
Now there's so much work to do

C F
Oh the door that closes tightly
C G
Is the door that can't swing wide
Am F G C
Oh no, Oh no but expecting to collide


C F
For a minute I let my guard down
C
Not afraid to be found out
F
Completely forgotten

C
What our fears were all about
Am F G C
Oh no, Oh no there's no need to be without

Am Em F G
There's a chance and I will take it
Am C F
This desire I can't give
Am Em F G
Take my heart please don't break it
Am C F
I will crawl to your foothill

C F
I'm frightened but I'm coming
C G
Please baby please lay still

Am F G C

Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
Oh no, oh no not coming for the kill
