Introdução:
F C
Let me tell you about this torch I carry -
Am7 Bb
- It?s not much of a career,
Gm Bb7M
And it won?t make my fortune,
Gm Bb
I fear.
F C
But it stays alight and won?t be buried
Am7 Bb
It?s brighter year by year,
Gm Bb7M
And someday it will surely
Gm Bb
Disappear.
F
When it does I?ll know I?ve laid to rest
C
The ghost of your unhappiness
F
That creeps around from room to room,
Am7 Bb Gm
A widow on a honeymoon,
Bb7M F C F
A shadow on a harvest moon.
F C
So put away this torch you carry,
Am7 Bb
For it?s doing you no good,
Gm Bb7M
And surely you know by now,
Gm Bb
That you should
F C
And come the day you die or marry,
Am7 Bb
Will you be understood
Gm Bb7M
When you say that you wanted
Gm Bb
But never could
F
Turn your back and lay to rest
C
The ghost of your unhappiness
F
That flits around from room to room,
Am7 Bb Gm
A widow on a honeymoon,
Bb7M F C F
A shadow on a harvest moon.
F
I write these words to make them true,
C
?I?ve drowned my torch and so should
F C
you?.
Gm
I write these words to make them true,
Bb7M
?I?ve drowned my torch and so should
F Dm7
you?.
Gm
I write these words to make them true,
Bb7M
?I?ve drowned my torch and so should
F
you?.
