[B]With the Per[F#]sian sea[E] running through your [B]veins
You [F#]shed your names [E]with the sea[B]sons
[D#m]Still they [A]all return[E] with their last[B] remains
And they lay [F#]them before you[E] like rea[B]sons
With your shimmering [F#]dress,[E] it says 'no',[B] it says 'yes'
It says 'I've [F#]nothing left for [E]concea[B]ling'
