F
Here come the lonely night
           C
I can't escape my mind

Em
From a broken bough
           C
Fall into finite space
Em
With the roof torn down
                 C
This house is an empty place
F                                         C
So tired of wandering around and starting over
F                                            C
No garden grows here now just the one leaf clover
Em
And when the windows shuttered
             C
It's always dark inside
Em
Sometimes the pain is absurd
                 C
Still it's what fate decides

Chorus:
F
Thought I saw Jesus come down
                C
Dressed like a soldier
F
I used to cry like a clown
            C
And now I'm older

Em
Here come the lonely night
         C
Can't escape my mind
Em
Here come the lonely night
          C
I can't escape my mind

And the grinding wheel turns
And the heavens burn
As the pilot ignites is a lesson learned
A sullen look of concern
It might make you sad
Like the fluttering bird in a dream you had

Here come the lonely night
I can’t escape my mind
Here come the lonely night
I can’t escape my mind

Chorus:
I saw Jesus come down
Dressed like a soldier
Once I cried like a clown
And now I’m older

Here come the lonely night
I can’t escape my mind
Here come the lonely night
I can’t escape my mind
