|  Em7-            C2- |
Standing in this room
|  Em7-                    C2- |
Well I wonder what comes now.
|  Em7-                 C2- |
I know I have to help her
|  G-                  D- |
But hell if I know how.
|  Em7-                     C2- |
And all the times that I've been told
|  Em7-              C2- |
The way her illness goes
  |  Em7-            C2- |
The truth of it Is no one really knows
|  G-   Gsus   G|
|    F-   -   -  |
And every day this act we act gets
|  C-           G- |
more and more absurd...
|    F-   -   -  |
And all my fears just side inside me,
|  C-             G- |
Screaming to be heard...
|  Am-                        G-       |
I know they won't, though Not a single word.
|  G-  F- |
        |  G-      D- |
I was here At her side
        |   G-               C- |
When she called, When she cried.

   How could she leave me on my own?
        |  G-         D- |
Will it work? This cure?

But I'm weary to the bone.

         And whenever she goes flying,
