Dm
I asked my father
                           Am
I said, "Father, change my name
            Dm
The one I'm using now it's covered up
                                      Am
With fear and filth and cowardice and shame."


[Chorus]
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me


[Verse 2]
            Dm
He said, "I locked you in this body
                        Am
I meant it as a kind of trial
        Dm
You can use it for a weapon
                      Am
Or to make some woman smile."


[Chorus]
         F
Yeah and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me


[Verse 3]
             Dm
"Then let me start again," I cried
                     Am
"Please let me start again
         Dm
I want a face that's fair this time
                        Am
I want a spirit that is calm."


[Chorus]
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me


[Verse 4]
         Dm
"I never turned aside," he said
                Am
"I never walked away
       Dm
It was you who built the temple
                             Am
It was you who covered up my face."


[Chorus]
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me


[Verse 5]
             Dm
"And may the spirit of this song
                        Am
May it rise up pure and free
       Dm
May it be a shield for you
                     Am
A shield against the enemy."


[Chorus]
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me


[Outro]
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
        F
Yes and lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover, lover
     C
Come back to me
