Introduction: G Em C
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
