Sufjan Stevens - Mystery of Love: chords

  C                     D
Oh, to see without my eyes
    Em                   Bm
The first time that you kissed me
  C                       D
Boundless by the time I cried
   Em                Bm
I built your walls around me

White noise, what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet above the ground
Hand of God, deliver me

Chorus:
Am                     D
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
     G   G/A   G/B  G/D  G/B    D/A
The first time that you touched me
Am                      D
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
G  G/A G/B G/D G/B D/A     C
Blessed be the mystery of love

Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter

Like Hephaestion, who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?

Chorus:
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

How much sorrow can I take?
Blackbird on my shoulder
And what difference does it make
When this love is over?

Shall I sleep within your bed?
River of unhappiness
Hold your hands upon my head
Till I breathe my last breath

Chorus:
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The last time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love
