 G                             Em 
  You never sat alone
         C                                   G 
And thought about your own
                                               Em                     C                         G 
Holding fisfuls of the ashes of the lady you once were
                                               Em 
Your shelves are empty now
           C                       G 
Your heart is overblown
                                                         Em                       C                         G 
And the streets you used to blame are now ashamed of you

 G                                                   Em 
  The night is where you're from
       C                                   G 
At least you thought so
                                               Em                                   C                                   G 
As the darkness's now approaching and your lips are wet enough
                                               Em 
The drink is not too strong
           C                               G 
Your taste is never wrong
                                                   Em                       C             Am 
Though the barman didn't save a single drop of rum
(refrain)
                                           C 
You're far away from home
                             G 
Staring at no one
                   D                                   Am 
Waiting long for a better income
                                       C 
Your time is never gone
                                           G 
You'll always be the one
                                       D                                       Am 
And never will you have to expose your bone
                                           C 
It's not that you pretend
                                   G 
To be somone you can't
                                         D                                     Am 
Just promise in the end you'll be back home
                                     C 
A little more to share
                             G 
A stranger to tear
                   D 
And your ready to go

 G                                 Em 
The books you read
     C                         G 
Inside your head
                                   Em             C                 G 
Are the fuel you claim to feel alive
                                 Em 
They dry your tears
   C                     G 
Along, within
                                                     Em             C       Am 
And then burn down to the ashes of past
(refrain)
 Am           Em                       Am               Em 
Hunting thoughts of a heartless soul
 Am           Em                     D             C 
    Never leave, never let you go
 Am                 Em                             Am             Em 
Brought no warmth and won't bring no cold
 Am             Em             D                 C 
Pass you by and retain your glow
