Hymn To Her
Tom: C
C
Let me inside you
           F
Into your room
                 Am
I've heard it's lined
           F               C
With the things you don't show.
 C
Lay me beside you
              F
Down on the Floor
                Am
I've been your lover
          F           C
From the womb to the tomb
    F              Am
I dress as your daughter
          F             C
When the moon becomes round
 F         Am
You be my mother
         F         C
When everything's gone
               C  Em      F
And she will always carry on
              C
Something is lost
                   G
But something is found
           C    Em              F
They will keep on speaking her name
              C
Some things change
               G
Some stay the same
         C
Keep backoning to me
                        F
From behind that close door
     Am            F
The maid and the mother
          F                 C
And the crone that's grown old
             C
I hear you voice
                    F
Coming out of that hole
    F       Am
I listen to you
       F         C
And I want some more
    F       Am
I listen to you
       F         C
And I want some more
               C  Em      F
And she will always carry on
              C
Something is lost
                   G
But something is found
           C    Em              F
They will keep on speaking her name
              C
Some things change
               G
Some stay the same
 C
Let me inside you
           F
Into your room
                 Am
I've heard it's lined
           F               C
With the things you don't show.
 C
Lay me beside you
              F
Down on the Floor
                Am
I've been your lover
          F           C
From the womb to the tomb
    F              Am
I dress as your daughter
          F             C
When the moon becomes round
 F         Am
You be my mother
         F         C
When everything's gone
               C  Em      F
And she will always carry on
              C
Something is lost
                   G
But something is found
           C    Em              F
They will keep on speaking her name
              C
Some things change
               G
Some stay the same

 

Let's Make A Pact
Tom: A
A
Empty me
                         E
Like a dustman rids a rubbish bin
A
Fill me up with glimpses of you
                    E
And let the music begin
F#m
Oh oh oh
                Bm
Take me to the altar
C#m           D    C#m
Let's make a pact
Bm             C#m    D    C#m
One we'll never take back
Bm             C#m     D    C#m
Let me prove that I'm true
             F#m
Let's make a pact
A
Alter me
                             E
The change could only do me good
A
Other have tried to and failed
                       E
I wish that somebody could
F#m
Oh oh oh
                   Bm
Do what no one can do
C#m           D    C#m
Let's make a pact
Bm             C#m    D    C#m
One we'll never take back
Bm             C#m     D    C#m
Let me prove that I'm true
             F#m
Let's make a pact
Take me to the world and let me wonder at the view
Set me off in motion and let me dance
After 20 years of doubt and then a week with you
I'm ready baby - follow thorugh!
A
Cover me in dirt
                                  E
And leave me to the wind and the rain
A
If I should ever hurt
                            E
The one who made me human again
F#m
Oh oh oh
                Bm
Take me to the altar
C#m           D    C#m
Let's make a pact
Bm             C#m    D    C#m
One we'll never take back
Bm             C#m     D    C#m
Let me prove that I'm true
             F#m
Let's make a pact
C#m           D    C#m
Let's make a pact
Bm             C#m    D    C#m
One we'll never take back
Bm             C#m     D    C#m
Let me prove that I'm true
             F#m
Let's make a pact

 

Never Do That
Tom: G
G      D  C
Let me stay
G        D C
One more day
G         D           C
It would mean so much to me
Am       D
I won't make a sound
Am         D
I'll just hang around
Am                  D
I'll sit where the last one sat
   C   D
But oh no
              G    D   C
I'd never do that
G         D                      C
Take my mouth as far as you can see
G              D                     C
It stretches father than I care to think
G       D          C
Put me out of my misery
Am          D
If I could keep it shut
Am            D
I wouldn't be in this rut
Am                          D
With less chance than a laboratory rat
   C
Oh no
              G    D   Bm   G   D
I'd never do that
                      Bm     G   C
You're a master of illusion
You say you do - but you don't
You think I will - I know I won't
G   D   C
G       D                C
When I see you sitting there
G            D                 C
It sends a shock right through me
G          D                  C
I never thought an ordinary chair
G      D          C
Could have such poetry
Am         D
I don't deserve your time
Am         D
I haven't got the tact
Am       D
I live above my means in fact
   C
Oh no
              G    D   C
I'd never do that
              G    D   C
I'd never do that
              G    D   C
I'd never do that
              G    D   C
I'd never do that

Sense Of Purpose
Tom: A
A
Everybody chokes
           D               E              A      D    E
When they see someone cut down in their prime
A
It may not show when you look at me
D      E           A      D    E
But I know I'm in mine
A
I'm potent baby I'm potent
D                  E    A      D    E
Dangerous to the naked eye
A
Rest your head on this bed of mother's pride
D    E        A      D    E
And find out why
D                        E
Don't you wanna take me home?
D                        E
Don't you wanna take me home?
 A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now
A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now
A
Bully boys don't bother me
D           E                 A      D    E
I purse my lips and they run away
A
Guys like you who are gentle and true
D            E            A      D    E
Don't come around here everyday
A
I'm potent baby I'm potent
 D                          E               A      D    E
Just one swing of me would get most guys smashed
A                               D
But a drop of yours makes me stagger and swerve
    E            A        D    E
I guess I'm outclassed
A
Everybody chokes
           D               E              A      D    E
When they see someone cut down in their prime
A
Take this plea to your heart
D  E          A    D    E
- Lift me in mine
D                        E
Don't you wanna take me home?
D                        E
Don't you wanna take me home?
 A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now
A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now
 A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now
A
Give me a sense of purpose
   D               E     A
A real sense of purpose now
