bridegroom
Repeat Intro Riff:
C Dm
And what did he do to deserve
Am C CM9 F
This whore of a wife who parades her disgrace to his face now
Am C CM9 F
When he loved her and gave up his life in more ways than she knows how
G G
And all I can say is that
Chorus:
C Am Dm
Love is a terrible art, it’s a hook in the heart
G
That can drag you on broken glass
C Am
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
Dm G …Am
The hook tears out your chest until you’re just a broken mess
Verse:
C Dm
Where is God in this rot?
Am C CM9 F
Depraved she commits the most heinous of sins and breaks her vows
Am C CM9 F
But he loves her despite all the crimes she devises in his house
C Dm
Where is God? I’ve been taught
Am C CM9 F
That He’s close to the broken, it's true I have spoken with Him some
Am C CM9 F
When I look in my brother's eyes I can see where his love comes from
G G
And all he can say is that
Chorus:
C Am Dm
Love is a terrible art, it’s a hook in the heart
G
That can drag you on broken glass
C Am
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
Dm G
The hook tears out your chest until you’re just a broken mess
Bridge:
F G C
But she has mercy on her lover and does not bleed him dry
F C G
A credit to his self control if it were me that monster would probably die
Chorus 2:
C Am Dm
Love is a beautiful thing, she can make your heart sing
G
When you’re walking on broken glass
C Am
She will open your eyes, make your heart feel alive
Dm
Point you toward the sunrise
G
Help you leave all this broken mess behind
Outro: 4x
F G Em
Love is a beautiful thing
Dm C G
Will you leave this broken mess behind?
