It’s ^Dhappened again, the ^D7colourless sky Has ^Bmdimmed me again and I’ve ^Emrun out of ^Dwhy Hank ^DWilliams is grieving, I’m ^D7scanning the Psalms When ^BmJesus was here they still^Getoed his ^Dpalms And the ^Empledge and the ^F#mvow is ‘you ^Gfind if you ^Aseek’ But ^Emwhat if you ^F#mtry and find ^Gnothing but ^Ableak

[Chorus]

^DSo turn me tender again ^EmFold me into you ^ATurn me tender again And ^Dsus4mould me to ^Dnew ^BmFaith lost its promise And ^F#mbruised me deep blue Turn me ^Gtender agai^Dn ^A Through union with ^Dyou

|D |Em |A |Dsus4 D |Bm |F#m |G D |Em A | [Verse 2]

Let me ^Dlay with you now like that ^D7very first time I’ve had ^Bmrooms full of dollars but I’m ^Emdown to a ^Ddime Though there’s ^Dwonder and awe in the ^D7mane of a lion There’s ^Bmnowhere to go and I’m ^Gchapters from ^DZion Yet ^Emyou’re still my ^F#mcryptic and ^Gcherishing ^Aprayer With ^Emserenity ^F#mkisses that s^Goothe and re^Apair

[Chorus]

|D |Em |A |Dsus4 D |Bm |F#m |G D |Em A | [Verse 3]

And la^Bmments have a purpose and la^Emments have a cost A ^Arequiem playing ^Dgathers the lost It ^Bmsometimes tastes sour, the ^Emsweetness of hope When the ^Ablizzards are raging on ^Dthis lover’s slope Yet I ^Emdon’t want to ^Dfreeze ^Ginside or ^Aout For it’s ^Emyou that dis^Dsolves the ^Gcold walls of ^Adoubt

[Chorus]

^DSo turn me tender again ^EmFold me into you ^ATurn me tender again And ^Dsus4mould me to ^Dnew ^BmFaith lost its promise And ^F#mbruised me deep blue Turn me ^Gtender agai^Dn ^Em ^A

|G |D |A

Through union with ^Dyou |D |Em |A |Dsus4 D |Bm |F#m |G D |Em A | (Repeat to fade or end on D)
