1. Lend your love to me tonight,

C G D

don’t ask me who or what is right,

A G D

I have no strength, I cannot fight,

C G D ~

just flood my darkness with your light.

A G D

2. I need no face, I need no name,

C G D

no martyr’s artificial shame,

A G D

no crucifix, I am not lame,

C G D

and yet I ache to feel the flame.

A G D

3. Arrest the sun and shoot the moon,

C G D

the lamp of laughter dies too soon,

A G D

to live reflected in a spoon,

C G D G - D ~

makes it too hard to stay in tune. Believe me !

A G D

4. Unlock the door, unbar the gate,

C G D

I’ll write “I love you” on the slate.

A G D

And while St. Peter’s thieves debate

C G D

the price of time, I will not wait,

D

or let the star blind road the fate,

G D G D G D

confuse me, abuse me, misuse me.

C Bb F

5. Release my soul, release my eyes,

D# Bb F

a clock unwinds, a flower dies,

C Bb F

dishonesty disqualifies,

D# Bb F

you win the race but lose the prize.

F Bb F

6. A tattered cloak behind the throne,

D# Bb F

it is unseen, it is not known,

C Bb F

behind this face I am alone,

D# Bb F Bb F ~

I would give everything I own to touch you.

A G D

7. Just lend your love to me once more,

C G D

don’t ask me what I came back for,

A G D

just watch the moonlight cross the floor,

C G D

and as your blood begins to roar.

A G D

You’ll feel your senses spin and soar,

A G D

you will become my meteor.

G D A - D

Divine and universal whore, complete me.

(Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
