Em              D C
You make yourself a prisoner of me
Em                D C
You blind yourself so you don't have to see
Em               D C
You turn your life to a power above
Em               D C
You make yourself a hostage of love

Em              D C
You turn from me, you turn from the strain
Em            D C
Devote yourself to the power again
Em              D   C
Distance yourself from all that we avowed
Em                 D   C
You broke those rules, you’re my hostage now

 Repeat Intro

Em          D     C
I Am A sinner
And I am a saint
Em          D    C
I Am A devil
I am the ghost at the wake
Em            D        C
I feed the swell and pull
Of your tears as they break
Em               D        C
I am the limit of
The load you can take

Em                D   C
You are the pulley
And I am the winch
Em            D     C
I am salvation
And your herald of sin
Em               D     C
I take you beyond
Your limits of trust
Em             D     C
Ransom yourself
Hostage of love

G                Bm         Em
You say you have been born again
     G             Bm                Em     D    C
Since you slept there in that liar's den, (Den)
   G            D
You cannot be saved
          C     G       D
You gave your innocence away

Ohhhhh

Em D C x2

Em               D      C
I've turned my cheek
And I've suffered the blow
Em                D
The truth of my story
   C
Is widely unknown
Em          D            C
Words of derision I have
Swallowed with a smile
Em               D
For telling my story
            C
I have been crucified

Em            D    C
Now like a madman
I give my laurels to you
Em       D      C
Like a hero
Forsake my trophies for you
Em         D               C
Though a disciple of this devil
That is in our blood
Em        D        C
Am I not also
Your hostage of love?

G                Bm        Em
You say you will be born again
      G             Bm               Em     D      C
Since you slept there in that liar's den, (Den)
     G           D
You cannot return
            C    G        D
Until your innocence is earned

       G                   Bm    Em
And you say you've got to live alone
          G                     Bm       Em   D      C
Though it hurts, you'll make it on your own, (own)
      G            D
You cannot be saved
                C   G    D
You gave your innocence away

Ohhhhhh

Em         D    C               Em    D    C
You will remain a hostage of love
            Em    D       C
Hostage of love
            Em   D       C
Hostage of love
