[Intro 1]
[Em][G][C][Em][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I
[G]followed far behind you
to the [Bm]edge of Tinseltown
Where the [C]carnival is open
[G]and the[C] curtains falling dow[Am]n
Took a [G]seat in the front row,
you were [Bm]there up on the stage
You were [C]paying for their sil[G]ver
With your [C]beauty and your [Am]rage
I [C]found you in the [G]dressing room
At [C]peace with your disgrace
[G]In the bod[Em]y of [D]a messen[G]ger
[C]With [Em]Aphrodite's [D]face[G][C][Em]
[D]I r[G]eached out, but you ran away
When I [Bm]caught your glimpse of hell
But I [C]lost you in the al[G]leyway way
where [C]no one knows you well
[Am]if the t[G]imes were not so killing
they'd lay [Bm]flowers at your feet
if the [C]flesh were not so willing
[G]And the [C]spirit not so [Am]weak
They'd [C]come to get your bless[G]ing
Where the [C]gods had left their [G]trace
In the [Em]body [D]of [G]a messenger
[C]With [Em]Aphrodite's [G]face[C][Em]
[D][G][C][Em][G][C]
Penetration, [Bm]only skin deep
Im[Am]itation, come [Em]back to sleep
[C]Love is so much deep[Em]er than this
Hol[Am]low horn of e[Em]mpti[D]ness
[G][C][Em][D][G][C][Em]
[D]It's too [G]soon to end your story
It's too [Bm]late to take it back
And [C]all that's been made [G]holy
can [C]never be made [Am]half
I'll un[G]lace my ties that bind you
and my fin[Bm]gers from your hand
And I'll [C]lose you till I [G]find you
And the [C]woman in the [Am]man
But your [C]curse will be your bless[G]ing
When the an[C]gel takes his [G]place
In the [Em]body [D]of [G]the [C]messenger
Aphrod[Em]ite's [D]face[G]
[C][Em][D][G][C]
Aphrod[Em]ite's [D]face[G]
[C][Em][D][G]
[C]Aphrodite's [Em]face[D][G][C][Em]
[D][G][C][Em][D][G][C][Em]
[D]You
