[Verse 1]

Em7 Am5

I asked my father,

Em7

I said, "Father change my name."

Am5

The one I'm using now it's covered up

Em7

with fear and filth and cowardice and shame.

[Chorus]

C3

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

G3

lover, lover come back to me,

C3

yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

G3

lover, lover come back to me.

[Verse 2]

Am5...

He said, "I locked you in this body,

I meant it as a kind of trial.

You can use it for a weapon,

or to make some woman smile."

[Chorus]

(same as above)

yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

lover, lover come back to me.

[Verse 3]

(same as verse 1)

"Then let me start again," I cried,

"please let me start again,

I want a face that's fair this time,

I want a spirit that is calm."

[Chorus]

(same as above)

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

lover, lover come back to me

yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

lover, lover come back to me.

[Verse 4]

(same as verse 1)

"I never never turned aside," he said,

"I never walked away.

It was you who built the temple,

it was you who covered up my face."

[Chorus]

(same as above)

yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

lover, lover come back to me.

[Verse 5]

(same as verse 1)

And may the spirit of this song,

may it rise up pure and free.

May it be a shield for you,

a shield against the enemy.

[Chorus]

(same as above)

Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

lover, lover come back to me

yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover,

lover, lover come back to me.
