Intro: Em, C, G  Em, C, G   
Em, Am, C - G, C, Em 


Em           C       G 
    When you prey in silence 
Em      C             G 
    And see our Jesus stagger 
Em        C                G 
    Awake! Take a perfumed candle 
Em           C          G 
    And use life like a dagger 

Em           Am         C 
    I'm your accidental protégé 
G                 C          Em 
    The gift, the blood, the thrown away 

Em             C         G 
    The silver chain has broken? 
Em             C         G 
    Goals and dreams fulfill 
Em                C     G 
    With emptiness with instinct 
Em             C      G 
    With impurity and will 

Em           Am         C 
    I'm your accidental protégé 
G                C         Em 
    The grave of love, the yesterday 

Em              C             G 
    In this, my year of three winters 
Em                 C              G 
    Where orchards fade, fade and fall 
Em           C       G 
    Like the loaf of love's new bake 
Em          C          G 
    Fallen, beautiful, adored? 

Em           Am         C 
    I'm your accidental protégé 
G                 C          Em 
    The gift, the blood, the thrown away 

Em    C                 G 
    I thought I found a paradise 
Em                C        G 
    But, paradise came and wept 
Em           C                 G 
    Like the wind through the, winter's woods 
Em           C          G 
    It cowed and took a breath 

Em           Am         C 
    I'm your accidental protégé 
G                C         Em 
    The grave of love, the yesterday

    The gift, the blood, the thrown away
