      A#m                   G#
Never took your side, never cursed your name;
           F#                          G#
I keep my lips shut tight until you go.
      A#m                   G#
We've come as far as we're ever gonna get
           F#
until you realize that you should go.

Chorus:
        C#                          Fm
I'm in misery where you can seem as old
as your omens,
         F#
and the mother we share will never
keep your proud head from falling.
     C#                               Fm
The way is long, but you can make it easy on me,
         F#
and the mother we share will never keep our
cold hearts from calling.

In the dying light, I'm the only one here
And I will cover you, until you go-o-o-oh
'Cause if I told the truth, I would always be free
And keep a prize with me, until you go-o-o-oh

Chorus

          A#m                       Fm
Into the night, for once, we're the only ones left.
          F#
I bet you even know where we could go.
            A#m                        Fm
And when it all fucks up, you put your head
in my hands;
        F#
it's a souvenir for when you go.

Chorus
