Intro: Em, C, G - Em, C, G - 
Em, Am, C - G, C, Em


Em           C       G
    When you prey in silence
Em      C             G
    And see our Jesus stagger
Em        C                G
    Awake! Take a perfumed candle
Em           C          G
    And use life like a dagger

Em           Am         C
    I'm your accidental protégé
G                 C          Em
    The gift, the blood, the thrown away

Em             C         G
    The silver chain has broken?
Em             C         G
    Goals and dreams fulfill
Em                C     G
    With emptiness with instinct
Em             C      G
    With impurity and will

Em           Am         C
    I'm your accidental protégé
G                C         Em
    The grave of love, the yesterday

Em              C             G
    In this, my year of three winters
Em                 C              G
    Where orchards fade, fade and fall
Em           C       G
    Like the loaf of love's new bake
Em          C          G
    Fallen, beautiful, adored?

Em           Am         C
    I'm your accidental protégé
G                 C          Em
    The gift, the blood, the thrown away

Em    C                 G
    I thought I found a paradise
Em                C        G
    But, paradise came and wept
Em           C                 G
    Like the wind through the, winter's woods
Em           C          G
    It cowed and took a breath

Em           Am         C
    I'm your accidental protégé
G                C         Em
    The grave of love, the yesterday

Em           Am         C
    I'm your accidental protégé
G                 C          Em
    The gift, the blood, the thrown away
