[Chorus 2]
    DbHer body recoils
                               Abas your hand goes to touch her again

[Chorus 3]
    Fm   DbAnd like all Christs before you
                                 Abyou kneel down beneath the night sky

              Ab  F (soft)And only feel lost

  Cm              Db  GbA new king awaits coronation
                     C/D   GbBut there will be no great revelation
GbYour journey is your destination
GbDiscomfort could be your salvation
     AbHere
