[Verse]
        Fmaj7    Am          
Take me now baby here as I am
Fmaj7                 Am        
Pull me close try an' understand
  Am                             
I work all day out in the hot sun
                       G       F    
Break my back 'til the mornin' comes
G               C   G         
Come on now try and understand
Am      F                       G    
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
C    F                 G       
Take me now as the sun descends
Bb                     
They can't hurt you now
Am                     
They can't hurt you now
E7                     
They can't hurt you now

[Verse]
F            G Am         
■ What I got I have earned
F                        G      
What I'm not baby I have learned
Am         F             G      Am     
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
F                            G            
Just stay in my bed 'til the morning comes
F    G          C   G         
Come on now try and understand
Am      F                       G    
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
C    F                 G       
Take me now as the sun descends
Bb                     
They can't hurt you now
Am                     
They can't hurt you now
           E7          
They can't hurt you now

[Verse]
G                 C      
Your love recedes without
                   Am        G     C      
The vicious circle turns and burns without
                    Am   G       C     
And though I cannot live forgive me now
                  F           C      F
The time has come to take the moment ■
     Am               
They can't hurt us now
G      F                 Gb7
■ They can't hurt us now ■
