[Verse]
C         Bb          Gm    Bb C      Bb          Gm Bb
   Move away from the window      and into the light
C            Bb                  Gm  Bb C           Bb            Gm Bb C Bb Gm
   There are some things in this life      that you just can't fight
C                    Bb    Gm Bb C                         Bb   Gm  Bb
  It's as if the spirits above     have cast a little spell upon us
             C      Bb Gm Bb C          Bb Gm Bb
  It's as if heaven above     is beckoning us
             C                        Bb           Gm  Bb
  So let us take off our crosses and lay them in a tin
              C                      Bb  Gm         Bb
  And let our weakness become virtue instead of sin
      C                  Bb  Gm                    Bb
  Our bodies stand naked as the day they were born
      C                    Bb Gm Bb C                     Bb Gm Bb
  And tremble like animals           before a coming storm

[Chorus]
Am      C      F    G
Take me beyond love
Am    G         F    G
Up to something above
Am        C    F             G
Upon this bed, between these sheets
Am           G             F
Take me to a happiness beyond human reach

[Verse]
     C            Bb Gm                  Bb
The force of life is rushing through our veins
C                  Bb  Gm                     Bb
In and out like the tide     it comes in waves
    C             Bb   Gm                   Bb
The drops of semen    and the clots of blood
C                   Bb  Gm          Bb
 Which may, one day, become like us
     C              Bb  Gm                   Bb
With outstretched hands reaching beyond love
C                 Bb  Gm   Bb  C Bb Gm Bb
  And up to something above

              C            Bb  Gm                  Bb
Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old
        C                    Bb       Gm                 Bb
Let me feed upon your breast and draw closer to your soul
        C                   Bb        Gm                Bb
Let me stay with you tonight and I'll offer you my world
      C                   Bb  Gm                      Bb    C
I'll take you to the angels      if you'll take me to myself

[Chorus]
Am      C      F    G
Take me beyond love
Am    G         F    G
Up to something above
Am        C    F             G
Upon this bed, between these sheets
Am           G             F
Take me to a happiness beyond human reach

[Outro]
Am         C        F    G
Beyond the grasp of lust
Am         G        F     G
Beyond the need for trust
Am         C           F            G
Beyond the gaze of the sick and the lame
Am         G         F
Beyond the stench of human pain
