I can't Ghelp it if I have a Dwidower's heart.G  
I try to Gget out of bed but I Dcan't seem to start.C  
When DI hit the road, it was Gfreezing and dark.C  
I Ghope that it's Emwarmer wherCever you are.G  
I Gturned to say I'm sorry and I Dtried to explain.G  
But the Groom, it was empty, and Dbitter, and drainCed.
No Dsongs from the angels, no Gblood in my veCins,
Could Gever reEmplace you and Chere I reGmain. 
COh Grain,C  
Come Gwash me and Emkeep me and Ctake me awGay.

New GYork was a rough place that Dtreated me well.G  
You Gbragged of religion and Dput me through Chell.
Maybe DI'm better off, maybe it's Ghard to tellC.
When I Gleft you were sEmleeping through tCrumpets and belGls.
COh Grain,C  
Come Gwash me and Emkeep me and Ctake me awGay.

Just one Gmoment of peace, that would Dsuit me so fiGne.
But it's Gechoes and glimpses of Dbeautiful timesC.
And I'm Dsure it's much harder on Gyour end then mCine,
If you Gever pass tEmhrough here, I'm Cnot hard to fGind.
COh Grain,C  
Come Gwash me and Emkeep me and Ctake me awGay.
