Sister Dew

• Em

Em                                 G 
Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done? 
        Em                      G    (G) 
All my life I've only loved the one. 
       Em                         G  
I was taught to be tolerant and plain 
       Em                             G  
I was taught a million things I can't explain. 
 
   D                                G 
It must have been the hatred in her eyes 
   D                                G 
It must have been the power to her lies 
       D                                   Em 
Sister tell me there's a place where I can hide 
 
       Em                         G  
Oh my sweet this is how it did unfold 
      Em                          G     (G) 
no my body never felt so calm and cold. 
    Em                                 G  
All around us there were people in the park. 
       Em                             G  
No my senses never felt so clear and stark. 
 
       D                           G 
And I swear that she saw it in my way 
         D                            G 
and I'm sure that she heard it in my voice 
       D                              Em  
Sister tell me please I didn't have a choice. 
 
A                   F 
I enjoyed to see her being idle 
A                         F 
she never had no worries, nothing vital 
A                     F               G 
from the day I met her to the final... afternoon. 
A                          F  
There was something there I can't describe it 
A                     F  
we were kicking ass we didn't fight it. 
A                        F                 G 
She never once suspected, that she had it... coming soon. 
 
      Em                           G  
Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done? 
       Em                       G    (G) 
all my life I've only loved the one. 
      Em                              G  
I was raised with compassion and they said 
       Em                         G  
I was loved for the loving that I spread 
 
 
 
        D                            G 
Now the only thing remaining is this chill. 
        D                        G 
and the only emptiness I need to fill 
         D                               G 
is understanding what it is that made me KILL. 
 
G 
Haaahaaah-haaahaaah-haaahaaah-haaahaaah 
 
 A F A F A F G G x2 
 
A                     F  
Please forgive me if I keep on smiling 
A                        F 
but every sad story has a funny side in 
A                     F                 G 
from that moment on I felt like crying... every day. 
A                       F 
All around us there were people screaming 
A                          F 
For half a second I thought I was dreaming 
A                       F     
my baby looked at me her eyes were beaming, 
G 
I walked away. 
 
      Em                          G 
Oh my sweet Sister Dew what have I done? 
       Em                       G     (G) 
All my life I've never loved no one. 
      Em                              G  
So it dawned on me this should be the place 
        Em                       G  
now the only thing I crave is an embrace. 
 
   D                         G  
So let your tender wisdom be mine 
    D                        G 
and let me come to you like a child 
    D                              Em 
I'd like to stick around here for a while.
