Last Blues For Bloody Knuckles (acoustic)

My precious wife, I am in shambles I am crumbling, I am Was it something I did Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up I can fix it, I swear If you trust me I am old and I am rusting but I care I care (same chords as previous verse) My precious wife, we made a promise Pledged our flesh to be one How can you doubt a love that stood so proud as we raised our children I believe in it still It has faltered and it has faded But I know it's there It's there And how'd it change The way you thought of me How strange to think we once were lovers Now we've wrapped the past up in broken glass And when you speak my name you shudder My precious wife, believe I'll save this I'll revive it, I will We've built a family from this marriage Why would you tear it apart? Speak now, precious Your silence screams You're giving in to your failure Hear me, the promise that you made was meant to keep forever Until we die, you're not allowed to change your mind Oh husband, I could not control it Husband, I could not abstain One cannot stop the wind from blowing Nor refuse the falling rain Love stirred up a storm inside me Wrapped its arms around my waist I failed you dear, I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry But there was nothing I could do No, there was nothing I could do Sure as the rain will fall Some love just fails There was nothing I could do There was nothing I could do There was nothing I could do There was nothing I could do
