Bm
If you're leaving, close the door.
A                       Bm
I'm not expecting people  anymore.
Bm
Hear me grieving, lying on the floor.
A                        Bm
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.

Chorus:
Bm                D
  I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man.
G              Em
  And my world is pale.
Bm
  When a blind man cries,
D            G       G/F# Em   Em/D   Bm
  Lord you know there ain't a sadder tale.

Had a friend once, in a room.
Had a good time, but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month, in that room.
Found a reason for the things we had to do.

Chorus
