[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][G][Am][C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]You make
[G]yourself [F]a prisoner of me
[Am]You blind yourself[G] so[F]
you don't have to see
[Am]You turn your life[G] to a [F]power above
[Am]You make yourself [G]a ho[F]stage of love

[Verse 2]
[Am]You turn from me,[G]
[F]you turn from the strain
[Am]Devote yourself [G]to t[F]he
power [Am]again
Distance your[G]self from [F]all that we vowed
[Am]You broke those rule[G]s,
[F]you're my hostage now

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][F][G][Am][C][F][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]I am a sinner [G]and [F]I am a saint
[Am]I am a devil,[G]
[F]I am a ghost at the wake
[Am]God feed the s[G]well and pull[F]
of your tears as they [Am]break
I am the [G]limit [F]of the load you can take

[Verse 4]
[Am]You are the pull[G]ey and I[F] am the winch
[Am]I am salva[G]ti[F]on and
you're herald of sin
[Am]I'll take you beyo[G]nd y[F]our limits of trust
[Am]Ransom yours[G]elf, hosta[F]ge of love

[Verse 5]
[C]You see we've been [Em]born [Am]again
Since [C]you've slept there in
that [Em]lion's [Am]den, [G]den[F]
You can [C]not be [G]saved
You gave your [F]inno[C]cence away,
[G]ohh[Am][G]
[F][Am][G][F]

[Verse 6]
[Am]I've turned my cheek[G]
[F]and I've suffered the blow
[Am]Truth of my st[G]ory is w[F]idely unknown
[Am]Word of derision[G],
I [F]have swallowed with a smile
[Am]For telling my s[G]tory I have been[F] crucified

[Verse 7]
[Am]Now like a mad[G] man,
[F]I give my laurels to you
[Am]Like a hero,[G] forsa[F]ke my trophies for you
[Am]No where disci[G]ple of this
[F]devil that is in the blood
[Am]Am I not also [G]your[F] hostage of love?

[Verse 8]
You [C]see we've all been [Em]born [Am]again
Since [C]you've slept there in
that [Em]lion's [Am]den, [G]den[F]
You can [C]not be [G]turned
Until your [F]inno[C]cence is [G]old

[Verse 9]
And [C]you seek out to [Em]live [Am]alone
Though it [C]hurts to make it [Em]on yo[Am]ur own,
[G]own[F]
You can[C]not be [G]saved
You gave your [F]inno[C]cence [G]away, ohh

[Verse 10]
[Am]You will be made[C] a hos[F]tage
of [Am]love[G][F]
Hostage of [Am]love,
[C]hos[F]tage of love

[Outro 1]
