SOFT OFFERING (FOR THE OFT SUFFERING) 

Dm Eb

    Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm
the long knife of the sun rising 
F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb
up the horizon and into our tired eyes 

    Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm
the spell of night is struck down 
F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb
our second sight is bleeding out 

F                 Bb           Eb
anna. can i come and walk you home? 
F                 Bb           Eb
i‘m not gonna wanna be alone 
F                 Bb           Eb
beaten up when the sunlight comes 
F                 Bb           Eb
bullied and cut by the clock on the wall

Bb                           F       Gm     
take the morning and the chlorinous light
Bb                           F       Gm     
you can have the afternoon. bury the evening too 
Bb                           F       Gm     
give me gathering calm of the night
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb
when the day is done and the rest is coming on 

Bb                           F       Gm     
under the pitch and the pull of the moon 
Bb                           F       Gm     
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and 
Bb                           F       Gm     
bring in the shadows to cover our flaws 
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb
when the pain is gone and the rest is coming on 

Bb      F       Gm     
Bb      F       Gm     
Bb      F       Gm     
Dm   Eb     Dm    Eb
Bb

    Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm
you belong out of that uniform 
F           Bb           F      Bb     Eb
out in the streets when everyone else is asleep 

 Dm    Eb           Dm   Gm
see the way the body sways 
F           Bb              F            Bb    
in empty air when there's nobody there
             F    Bb    Eb 
and you don‘t even care if there is 

F                 Bb           Eb
anna can i be to you like that? 
F                 Bb           Eb
cover your shame with a shield of black 
F                 Bb           Eb
cover your body with my trembling hands 
F                 Bb           Eb
have you dancing while i hold them back

Bb                           F       Gm     
hold back the morning and her chlorinous light 
Bb                           F       Gm     
have at the afternoon. bury the evening too 
Bb                           F       Gm     
let‘s have the gathering calm of the night 
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb
when the day is done and the rest is coming on 

Bb                           F       Gm     
under the pitch and the pull of the moon 
Bb                           F       Gm     
sweet silver medicine swim in my temples and 
Bb                           F       Gm     
bring in the shadows to cover our wounds 
Dm       Eb             Dm          Eb
when the pain is gone and the rest is coming on

Bb      F       Gm     
Bb      F       Gm     
Bb      F       Gm
