Verse 
Bm 
Rend a black drop from my heart 
E 
With the weight of days 
    Bm 
The end of time has just begun 
  E 
I hear it call your name 
 
G                Em 
And no straining of the string 
G                Em 
Can reverse what will begin 
 
Instrumental 
Bm E Bm E 
 
 
Bm               
Some let go and some hold on 
E 
There is no mistake  
   Bm  
If I could wash all ill away 
E 
Tell me would you stay? 
 
G       Em 
And no lovers sin 
G                Em 
Can reverse what will begin
