verse 1 
Em                          G 
I found the binding of the yoke 
        C                       G         F#m 
That connects us here, in this herd of hope 
Em                         Bm 
Escort me to your kingdom come 
       C                          Em             C Em C Em 
From the gallows' hold, and the things we've done 

verse 2 
Em                             Bm 
You stole so much, so much at times 
           C               G         F#m 
Just being bad, like the books we read 
      Em                   Bm  
The helplessness that you played upon 
            G             Em  
Was just tenderness, to disarm 

verse 3 
      C                       D 
She ushered in love, but it drove you mad 
              C                  G 
Not to have everything of your envisioning 
       C                G 
She wandered in on the peace you lacked 
                  Em                          C 
Yeah and you're losing still, that life you could've had 

Instrumental: Em C Em 

verse 4 
Em                        G         Bm 
Tell that story one more time for me 
        C                           G 
Of the baited fields just for the taking dear 
Em                    Bm 
Where you heard the hunter's call 
             C                 G 
But your discipline kept you from the fall 
Em                          C              G 
But oh, to hold that tenderness in these grubby hands 

Verse 5 
             D 
I'd shoot anything 
          C                     G 
And you laughed at me, but you know I'm right 
                Em                            C    Em  Bm  C  G 
So why do you claim the strength to put up a fight 
         C                     D 
And you hold your nightmares close from view 

Verse 6 
                  C                      G 
The horses going wild, under a breaking moon 
        C                       G 
There's no way the bridle ever fits the bride 
              Em                   C          Em C Em C Em 
Yeah, and the weight of it, that's why we're here
