G                      B               A
Oh, creator, won't you soothe my tired soul?
G               Em          D
It's so afraid, it's so all alone
G                B               A
I feel the Fates weave my golden thread
G                  Em    D
Golden and glowin' one alone
G            B
All my gloom on the loom

G Em D
G Em D

[Chorus 1]
G                    B
Oh, lover, won't you hold me in your hands?
    G                      Em         D
I'm a little worried, I am all that I have
      G                   B
And I ache to be held and I want to be good
  G                      Em       D
I don't wanna die, wanna be understood
   G              B
All my gloom, and all my doom

G Em D

[Verse 2]
G                   B
Oh, Mama, won't you decode my dream?
       G                          Em             D
I took the baby from your arms to dry her little tears
           G                               B
And when I moved the hair out of her eyes, I saw that she was me
               G                         B                 A
And you cooed, "My oldest one, won't you soothe your ancient soul?
  G             B              G
It's so afraid, it's so all alone"

Em D
G Em D

[Chorus 2]
G                    B
Oh, lover, won't you hold me in your hands?
     G                    Em         D
I'm a little worried I am all that I have
      G                     B
And I want to be good and I long to be loved
    G               Em      D
I wanna live, can you understand?
    G                   B
I am fightin' a villain inside of my head
   G                             Em          D
It wants the crown, it wants the title to my soul
        G                    B
I'll be ripe for the rotting when I finally go
           G                 Em         D
Where there ain't no more me left to console

G B
G Em D

G              B
Oh, my death, won't you spare me today?
 G                            Em               D
Today, I'll feel the sun, today, I'll swim the lake
     G                       B
I'll make somethin' real if today you let me wait


[Outro]
G        B
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
G              Em             D
Somethin' real, make somethin' real
G         B
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
G          Em        D
Take, take all my gloom
G         B
Soothe my soul
G         Em      D
Soothe my ancient soul
G               B
Soothe, soothe, soothe my soul
G                         D
Soothe, soothe, soothe my soul
G      Em    D
Soothe my soul
