[Intro 1]
[Em][G][Em][G]

[Verse 1]
I be[F]lieve that you heard your [Em]master sing
[F]When I was sick in bed[Em]
I sup[F]pose that he told you [Em]everything
That I [F]keep locked away in my [Em]head
Your [F]master took you [Am]travelling
Well, at [C]least that's what you [D]said
And [G]now do [Bm]you come [G]back to [Bm]bring
Your [C]prisoner wine and [B]bread?
[Em][G]

[Verse 2]
You [F]met him at some [Em]temple
Where they [F]take your clothes at the [Em]door
He was [F]just a numberless [Em]man in a chair
[F]Who'd just come back from the [Em]war
And you [F]wrap up his tired [Am]face in your hair
And he [C]hands you the apple [D]core
Then he [G]touches your [Bm]lips
now so [G]suddenly [Bm]bare
Of all the [C]kisses we put on some time be[B]fore
[Em][G]

[Verse 3]
And he [F]gave you a German [Em]Shepherd to walk
With a [F]collar of leather and [Em]nails
And he [F]never once made you ex[Em]plain or talk
About [F]all of the little de[Em]tails
Such as [F]who had a word and [Am]who had a rock
And [C]who had you through the [D]mails
Now your [G]love is a [Bm]secret all [G]over the [Bm]block
And it [C]never stops,
not even when your master [B]fails
[Em][G]

[Verse 4]
And he [F]took you up in his [Em]aeroplane
Which he [F]flew without any [Em]hands
And you [F]cruised above the [Em]ribbons of rain
That [F]drove the crowd from the [Em]stands
Then he [F]killed the lights in a [Am]lonely lane
And an [C]ape with angel [D]glands
E[G]rased the [Bm]final [G]wisps of [Bm]pain
With the [C]music of rubber [B]bands
[Em][G]

[Verse 5]
And [F]now I hear your [Em]master sing
You [F]kneel for him to [Em]come
His [F]body is a [Em]golden string
That your [F]body is hanging [Em]from
His [F]body is a [Am]golden string
My [C]body has grown [D]numb
Oh, [G]now you [Bm]hear your [G]master [Bm]sing
Your [C]shirt is all un[B]done
[Em][G]

[Verse 6]
And [F]will you kneel be[Em]side this bed
That we [F]polished so long a[Em]go
Be[F]fore your master [Em]chose instead
To [F]make my bed of [Em]snow?
Your [F]eyes are wild
and your [Am]knuckles are red
And you're [C]speaking far too [D]low
No, I [G]can't make [Bm]out
what [G]your master [Bm]said
Be[C]fore he made you [B]go
[Em][G]

[Verse 7]
And I [F]think you're playing [Em]far too rough
For a [F]lady who's been to the [Em]moon
I've [F]lain by this window [Em]long enough
To get [F]used to an empty [Em]room
And your [F]love is some dust
in an [Am]old man's cuff
Who is [C]tapping his foot to a [D]tune
And your [G]thighs are a [Bm]ruin,
you [G]want too [Bm]much
Let's [C]say you came back sometime too [B]soon
[Em][G]

[Verse 8]
I [F]loved your master [Em]perfectly
And I [F]taught him all that he [Em]knew
He was [F]starving in some deep [Em]mystery
Like a [F]man who is sure what is [Em]true
And I [F]sent you to him with [Am]my guarantee
I could [C]teach him something [D]new
And I [G]taught him [Bm]how
you would [G]long for [Bm]me
No [C]matter what he said,
no matter what you'd [B]do
[Em][G]

[Verse 9]
I be[F]lieve that you heard your [Em]master sing
While [F]I was sick in b[Em]ed
I'm [F]sure that he told you [Em]everything
I must [F]keep locked away in my [Em]head
Your [F]master took you [Am]travelling
Well, at [C]least that's what you [D]said
And [G]now do [Bm]you come [G]back to [Bm]bring
Your [C]prisoner wine and [B]bread
