Key: D
Introduction:
D A
A lonely man amidst these scenes, I wander aimless round these dreams
Em G D
I prefer the humble ones, I prefer the humble ones now you have gone
A Em
You?ve gone 5000 miles. You?ll be gone at Christmas time
G A G A Bm
So I?ll carry the cross, The cross into the lights blind my eyes
Em A D D9 D D9 D
And I will beg that you still love me
D A
A thousand miles for every year, Since you swept across this desert
Em G D
You?re a prophet, you?re a plague, I felt the flowers grow despite myself
A
Will I be the bastard I was then? Will the isolation spread
Em G A
Just like a cancer, Like a lie, I?ll carry the cross
G A Bm Em A D
The cross into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
G A Bm Em A D
See the light blinds my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
D A
When you come home you will find, This naked spirit tumbling blind
Em G A
I?ll lay myself down at your mercy, A faithless man who lies
G A Bm Em A D
Into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
G A Bm Em A D D9
See the light blinds my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me
