The Passion

	  		Intro  

Em   Am   G    Em  C  G (2x)  

Em            Am                    G  
The fear of a daughter runs high  
Em            C                        G  
In the the mind of a father to be  
Em            Am                    G  
For something is growing inside  
Em            C                        G  
But we don't talk about it, do we  

Em            Am                    G  
In the long empty passionless night  
Em            C                        G  
Many times to herself she has prayed  
Em            Am                    G  
That the baby will love her much more  
Em            C                        G  
Than the big boy who stole her away  
   

C        C/B        C        C/B        C        C/B            G  
And sometimes it takes a grown man a long time to learn  
C        C/B        C        C/B        C        C/B            G  
Just what it would take a child a night to learn  

Bm             Em                  Cm                        G  
It pains her to know that some things will never be right  
Bm             Em                  Cm                        D  
If the baby is just someone else to take sides in the fight  
   

Em            Am                    G  
Harsh words between bride and groom  
Em            C                        G  
The distance is greater each day  
Em            Am                    G  
He smokes alone in the next room  
Em            C                        G  
And she knits her life away  
   
   

C        C/B        C        C/B        C        C/B            G  
And sometimes it takes a grown man a long time to learn  
C        C/B        C        C/B        C        C/B            G  
Just what it would take a child a night to learn  
   

Bm             Em                  Cm                        G  
A long time ago she saw visions on the stairs  
Bm             Em                  Cm                        D  
And when she felt dizzy her mother was always there  

Em            Am                    G  
The home help is no help at all  
Em            C                        G  
I have not committed a crime  
Em            Am                    G  
Angels gaze down from the wall  
Em            C                        G  
Is there a God, Is there a next time
