[Verse 1]
[Em]The priest sat in the airport bar
He was wearing his [D]father's [Em]tie
And his eyes looked into
my eyes so far
Whenever the [Esus4]words ran[Em] dry
[E]Behin[Em]d the lash and the circles blue
[D]He looked as [F#m]only a prie[Bm]st c[E]an,[B]
[Em]through[E][Bm][B]
And his [Em]eyes said me and his
eye[D]s said y[Bm]ou
And [B]my eyes said let [Em]us try

[Verse 2]
[Em]He said, "You wouldn't like it here"
No, it's [D]no place [Em]you should share
The roof is ripped with hurricanes
And the [Esus4]room is al w[Em]ays bare
I [B]need the wind and [Bm]I seek
[Em]the [D]cold
[F#m]He reached past the wine
[B]for my hand to hold
And he [Em]saw me [Bm]young
and he saw me old
And [Em]he saw [E]me [Bm]sit [E]ting t[Em]here

[Verse 3]
Then he [Em]took his contradictions out
And he splashed [Esus4]them on my b[Em]row
So which words was I then to doubt
When choos[D]ing [Em]what to vow
Should [B]I choose them all,
[Em]should I make them mine
[Bm]The serm[F#m]ons the hy[Bm]mns
and the [B]valentines
An[Bm]d he ask[Em]ed for tru[D]th
and he [Bm]asked for time
And he [Em]asked [Esus4]for only[E]
[Em]now[Esus2]
[Em][E][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Now the trials are trumpet scored
Oh will [Esus4]we pass t[Em]he test
Or just as one loves more and more
Will one love less and less
Oh [B]come, let's run from
[Bm]this [Em]ring we're in
Where [Bm]the [F#m]Christians clap and the [Bm]Ger[B]
mans [Esus2]grin[Em][Em][E][D]
[Em]Say ing let them lose,
[D]crying[Bm] let them win
Oh [E]make them both confess
