Sufjan Stevens - Mystery Of Love

[Intro]
C D Em/B D (x2)

[Verse 1]
C                      D
Oh, to see without my eyes
Em/B		         D
The first time that you kissed me
C                         D
boundless by the time I cried
Em/B		      D
I built your walls around me
C                            D
White noise, what an awful sound
Em/B	           D
fumbling by Rogue River
C                        D
feel my feet above the ground
Em/B	        D
hand of god, deliver me

[chorus 1]
Am		      D
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
      G	  G/A  G/B  G/D  G/B    D/A 
The first time that you touched me
Am		        D
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
G  G/A G/B G/D G/B D/A     C
blessed be the mystery of love

[Interlude 1]
C G/B D (x4)
C D Em/B D 

[Verse 2]
C                    D
Lord, I no longer believe
Em/B	           D
drowned in living waters
C                             D
cursed by the love that I received
Em/B		    D
from my brother's daughter
C                      D
like hephaestion, who died
Em/B         D
alexander's lover
C                     D
Now my riverbed has dried
Em/B             D
Shall I find no other?

[chorus 2]
Am	              D
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
     G G/A G/B G/D G/B D/A
I'm running like a plover
Am	              D
Now I'm prone to misery
     G   G/A G/B G/D  G/B  D/A     C
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

C D Em/B D 

[Verse 3]
C                      D
how much sorrow can I take?
Em/B	          D
blackbird on my shoulder
C                            D
and what difference does it make
Em/B		   D
When this love is over?
C                          D
Shall I sleep within your bed
Em/B	    D
River of unhappiness
C                        D
hold your hands upon my head
Em/B			   D
Till I breathe my last breath

[chorus 3]
Am		      D
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
     G   G/A  G/B  G/D  G/B    D/A 
The last time that you touched me
Am		        D
Oh, will wonders ever cease? 
G  G/A G/B G/D G/B D/A     C
blessed be the mystery of love

[Outro]
