Hollow headed moment in your eyes.
Em C D
Shouldn't come to me as no surprise,
G C
that she loves me when I'm gone,
G C
but when I'm here I'm all alone,
G D G
left to wander hopelessly again.
G C G
I got a woman and she's a friend of mine,
Em C D
she likes to pretend that she never cries.
G C
But I can see her on the stairs,
G C
and lord it's more than I can bear,
G D G
but my head can't simply turn away.
Em C G
There's a room as cold as it is lonely,
Em C D
build it up boys, and tear it down.
(Interlude)
G C G
All the devil's weight upon my back,
Em C D
all I wish for, babe, is what I lack.
G C G C
No matter how I try I never seem to walk the line,
G D G
and all the world is kept in jars at home.
G C G
Yes, all the world is kept in jars at home.
