Intro 
     F 
This gentle man 
         Am   G        F 
Wants to do unspeakable things

To say unrepeatable things 
   Am      G    F 
To wish it all away

Cause I have been at war for a long time

That can’t be washed away 



F          G      C          Am 
So much of me I’m wanting to hide 
   F        G        Am        F 
Do I dare reveal the horrors inside?

I’m not all that proud about things I have done

If I let go what will I become?
