Em Am A Em

[Verse 1]
Em                            Am     
It's true - I could have done better
    Gm         Am                        Em
But I won't be bullied to fully take the blame
    Em                         Am    
You came - into my body like a spirit
   Am                                 E Em
So I have determined your proper name


[Chorus]
A
Batonebo, Batonebo
         Em
Leave me be
              A
I'll give you roses and violets
       Am                          Em
If you stop inflicting violence on me


[Verse 2]
   Em   E            A
Forgive my cancerous emotions
                                E      Em
Here I offer these devotions to appease
    E        Em
Now please - da tik'bit
       A
Filter out of me
   A                                 E   Em
So I can drown out this supernatural scream


[Chorus]
A
Batonebo, Batonebo
         Em
Set me free
              A                 E
I'll sing you iavnana vardo batonebo


[Outro]
Am  C     E
Batonebo, Batonebo (Batonebo, Batonebo)
E
Leave me be (Leave me be)
E
I'll give you roses and violets (I'll give you roses and violets)
       C                           Em
If you stop inflicting violence on me
