G#m               A                 E
Well I guess you left me with some feathers in
    B
my hand
G#m                A          E                 B
Did it make it any easier to leave me where I stand?
              G#m               A
I guess there might not be too many
            E               B
who would stand beside you now
            G#m                    A
Where'd you come from? Where am I going?
           E                 B
Why'd you leave me 'till I'm only good for.

 E       B
Waiting for you
G#m     B
All my sins
           F#m               A
I said that I would pay for them if
         E         B
I could come back to you
G#m    B            F#m            A
All my innocence is wasted on the dead and dreaming

Every night these silhouettes appear above my head
Little angels of the silences that
climb into my bed and whisper
Every time I fall asleep
Every time I dream
"Did you come?
Would you lie?
Why'd you leave us 'til we're only good for..."

Chorus

G#m              A                E           B
I dream of Michelangelo when I'm lying in my bed
       G#m           A                E
Little angels hang above my head and read me
        B
like an open book
G#m             A            E              B
Suck my blood break my nerve offer me their arms
        G#m            A        E
Well, I will not be an enemy of anything
     B
I'll only stand here

Chorus

E    B         G#m        A
I'm gone, I'm gone, Take me away,
     E         B         G#m        A
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, Take me away.
     E                   B                   G#m A
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
     E
I'm gone.
