Suzanne Vega - Penitent

^AmOnce I stood alone so proud held myself above the crowd ^Gnow i am low on the ^Amground. ^AmFrom here i look around to see what avenues belong to me ^GI can't tell what ive f^Amound.

^AmNow what ^Gwould You ^Fhave me do ^Ami as^Gk you ^Fplease? ^AmI wa^Git to ^Emhear. ^C

^AmThe mother, and the matador, the mystic, all were here before, ^Glike me, to stare You ^Amdown. ^AmYou appear without a face, disappear, but leave your trace, ^Gi feel your unseen ^Amfrown.

^AmNow what ^Gwould you ^Fhave me do ^AmI as^Gk you ^Fplease? ^Ami wa^Git to ^Emhear

your ^Cvoice, the ^Fword, you ^Gsay i w^Emait to ^Csee your sign ^Gwould^F i ^{G Em}obey?

^AmI look for you in heathered moor, the desert, and the ocean floor ^Ghow low does one heart^Am go. ^Amlooking for your fingerprints i find them in coincidence, ^Gand make my faith to ^Amgrow. ^AmForgive me all my blindnesses my weakness and unkindnesses ^Gas yet unbending^Am still. ^Amstruggling so hard to see my fist against eternity ^Gand will you break my w^Amill?

^AmNow what ^Gwould you h^Fave me do ^Ami a^Gsk you ^Fplease? ^Ami w^Gait to^Em hear your ^Cvoice, the ^Fword you ^Gsay i ^Emwait to ^Csee your sign c^Gould^F i ^{G Em}obey?
