[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][C][C]
[F][F][Dm][E][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]When all the worst we fear
lets fall its [C]weight
When the gyre widens on
and when the [F]wave breaks
When St. Peter loses cool and bars [Dm]the gates
When [E]Atlas acts the [F]maggot,
makes his [Am]arms shake
When the birds are heard again
in their [C]singing
Once atrocity is hoarse from voic[F]in' shame
And when the earth is trembling
on some new be[Dm]ginnin'
With the [G]same sweet shock
of when Ad[F]am first came

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Be, be, be, be, be
[C]Be as you've always been
[F]Be, be, be, be, be
[Dm]Be as you've always been

[Bridge 1]
(Lover, be good to me)
[Am]Be as you've always been
[C]Be like a love that discovered the sin
That [F]freed the first man and will [Dm]do so again
And [Am]lover be good to me
(Lover be good to me)
Be that hopeful feeling
when Eden was lost
That's [C]been deaf to our laughter
since the master was crossed
Which [F]side of the wall really [Dm]suffers that cost?
Oh, [Am]lover be good to me

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][C][C]

[Verse 2]
When the [Am]man who gives the order
Is [C]born next time 'round on the boat sent back
When the [F]bodies starvin' at the border
Are on T[Dm]V givin' people the sa[E]ck
[F]Oh, when the [Am]sea rises to meet us
Oh, when there's [C]nothin' left
for you and I to do
Oh, when there's no[F]body upstairs
to receive us
When I have [Dm]no kind words left,
love, for [G]you
[F]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Be, be, be, be, be
[C]Be as you've always been
[F]Be, be, be, be, be
[Dm]Be as you've always been

[Bridge 2]
(Lover, be good to me)
[Am]Be love in its disrepute
[C]Scorches a hillside and salts every root
And watch[F]es the slowing
and [Dm]starving of troops
And [Am]lover, be good to me
(Lover, be good to me)
Be there and you stare as you stand
[C]Or be like the rose that you hold in your hand
That will grow [F]bold in a barren
and [Dm]desolate land
And [Am]lover be good to me

[Outro 1]
Love, won't you [Am]be?
Love, won't you be?
Be as you [C]always been?
Love, won't you [F]be?
Love, won't you [Dm]be?
Be as you [Am]always been?
Love, won't you be?
Love, won't you be?
Be as you [C]always been?
Love, won't you [F]be?
Love, won't you [Dm]be?
Be as you [Am]always been?
