Sacrifice Burning

A E Jane sends her hand and then pulled it away F#m D She said, "Here's the alternate proof that I love you" A E Two magic children that smile at your name F#m D A body that pulls like a pack mule to meet you A E Tell me, dear Robert, what turns you to town F#m D Turns you to empty your place at the table? A E You prefer faces, you don't owe a thing F#m D You prefer feeling you perform a favor A E By kissing my cheek after brushing your teeth F#m D Boots on your feet as you sleep through the morning A E Loving your children the most as you leave F#m D Pacing your walk like a sacrifice burning A E I see you smolder and fade down the road F#m D With smoke in the kitchen, my breath on the windowpane A E Show me some victory that I can achieve F#m D A gentle communion reminds me of yesterday A E F#m D (2x) A E Downtown at work, or wherever you go F#m D Does holiness grow with the distance created? A E My marriage was not to a martyr in flames F#m D And martyrs don't light up so loved ones will love them A E Robert stepped back and he buttoned his shirt F#m D The mirror revealed every stain he was hiding A E Jane cleared her throat, changed her posture and said F#m D "I miss you so much that I feel like I'm dying" A E F#m D (2x)
