Oh the [D]tears that you weep 
For the [Dm+7]poor tortured souls 
Who [F#m]fall at your feet 
With their [Dm7]love begging bowls 
All the [F#m]clerks and the tailors 
The [E]sharks and the sailors 
All [D]good at their trades 
But they‘ll [Hm7]always be failures 
 
{intro} 
 
[D]Alms for the poor 
For the [Dm+7]wretched disciples 
And the [F#m]love that they swore 
With their [Dm7]hearts on the Bible 
[F#m]Beseeching the honour 
To [E]sit at your table 
And [D]feast on your holiness 
As [Hm7]long as they‘re able 
 
[Dm+7]Love needs its martyrs 
[F#m6]Needs its sacrifices 
[Dm]They live for your beauty 
[Am+7]And pay for their vices 
[Dm+7]Love will be the death of 
[F#m6]My lonely soul brothers 
[Dm]But their spirit shall live on in 
[Am+7]The hearts of all lovers 
 
[D]You‘re holding court 
With your [Dm+7]lips and your smile 
Your [F#m]body‘s a halo 
Their [Dm7]minds are on trial 
Sure as [F#m]Adam is Eve 
Sure as [E]Jonah turned whaler 
[D]They‘re crooked love thieves 
And [Hm7]you are their jailor 
 
{comment: well, just look above...} 
Love needs its martyrs 
Needs its sacrifices 
They live for your beauty 
And pay for their vices 
Love will be the death of 
My lonely soul brothers 
But their spirit shall live on in 
The hearts of all lovers
