D#m, C#,  G#(or Capo 1 to get rid of all the sharps)
D#mAll this time I'd never let you go
And now the C#same chains that I've kept you in are G#holding down my soul
I D#mset you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire
And now you C#knocked me down you shut me out and I can G#see it in your eyes
Somehow you F#got it in your head, that you can make it on your own
You were G#sheltered, loved, and fed but you just couldn't leave it alone
[Chorus (repeat x2)]
Leave it D#malone, leave it alone
Leave it C#alone, leave it G#alone
D#mWell your heart was here, resting on my lap
and I'd C#do it all again but I'm G#never coming back
Well I D#mknow I'm lying, lying in the cold
Yeah there's C#snow on the ground, and if I know myself, I'll be G#leaving down the road
I've been F#all around the world but I've got nowhere to go
I G#gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now so
[Chorus + Instrumental]
The D#mghosts are on the green each and every night
Oh the C#distant light is the G#hardest part to take
That's the D#mheart of all my pain lying in the cold
Oh the C#distant light in a G#hue we can't describe, still we know
D#m, C#,  G#[x2]
Could it D#mall be over now? We've seen it all the while
There's no C#dimension to the clouds, and the G#moon and world around
That's the D#mheart of all my pain, cause I don't wanna go
Oh the C#distant light in a G#hue we can't describe, still we know
