[Verse 1]
FmSometimes I G#walk mystEberious pFmlaces
Hear voices that G#talk witEbhout a word to say
FmSometimes I G#hear the Ebechoes oFmf laughter
In the twilight of G#affairs and Ebother tragediFmes

Fm Eb
FmA half-moon G#away, Ebway too close to Fmheaven
She had the G#look, but Ebno morality
SomeG#times it's Fmeasy to foG#rget Ebonly for a Fmmoment
But there are nights you rG#egret etEbernally
BbmWhatever frozen Fmhearts can do
Will C#melt the ice Ebaway
[Chorus]
How you Fmknow what it's C#like
When good Ebluck has changed the Fmsides
And no sun shines in the C#dark and no Ebangels
Ever hear your Fmprayers in the C#night
When your Ebfears come up your Fmspine
When your life turns upside C#down it breaks your Ebheart
When C#you get crushed in a house of Ccards
House Fmof cards

Fm   Eb(2x)
[Verse 2]
FmIt's so hard to find a G#way when Eblife is in Fmpieces
And the taste of a G#kiss is so bEbittersweet
CmSometimes it's Fmeasy to forG#get onEbly for a mFmoment
But the man who'll rise up from the G#ashes is Ebno one else but me
I'm sBbmtanding in a Fmwaterfall
To C#wash the lies Ebaway
[Chorus]
How you Fmknow what it's C#like
When good Ebluck has changed the Fmsides
And no sun shines in the C#dark and no Ebangels
Ever hear your Fmprayers in the C#night
When your Ebfears come up your Fmspine
When your life turns upside C#down it breaks your Ebheart
