Sonnets For Magdalene

[Intro ]
D Em D Gm 
F#m Bm Em Em A A D A 


[Verso 1]
 
    D       Em 
My safest reform 
       D           Gm 
Led me out of your bed 
 F#m        Bm             Em             Em 
Crawled up besides you and read 'til you slept 
   A  A D A  D 
As I softly wept 
 


[Verso 2]
 
      Em 
I'm a fool 
      D          Gm 
I'm a mess and a wreck 
  F#m      Bm         Em              Em 
A lowly depressive colludes oft with death 
       F#m        Em           F#m          Gm 
But I wrote you a sonnet; Magdalene it will head 
     Bm                Em             A         A   D A 
The slurred speech of drunkards into more to be said

[Verso 3]
 
    D               Em               D             Gm 
I'll eat through a paycheck, buy you all I could spend 
        F#m       Bm          Em 
Youre my Mount Vesuvius, my fishermans bend 
 F#m      Em         F#m            Gm 
Tying my body to the place where we met 
Bm            Em               A              A  D A 
I'll carve a home out of the trees you liked best

F#m Bm Em Em A A D A 

{Final Verse} 
D         D7              Em              A 
Hey, don't pray for me, I don't pray for you 
      F#m          Em          F#m           Gm 
And I know that it's greedy; I know that I'm needy 
 Bm          Em          A          D 
Another soft player can pick to my tune
