One two three four

Mother, sister comfort me

G D

Feel so wet and cold

And downtown's lights look like a fire

G D

As I'm headed out in the snow

You know I've gone to live one thousand lives

G D

And to die one thousand deaths

But lately baby, got me scared

G D

Ain't got too much left

G D

I watch the tide flying

G D

Like a sparrow

G D

I Watch the lights dying

Off like dominoes

Uh-hoh

And the church bells were ringing

G D

And the church bells they cried

And the church bells sang inside my heart

G D

The night before she died

And Jesus came to me

G D

He put a song into my ears

He said let it fall right out your mouth

G D

For the whole wide world to hear

G D G D

And so I opened wide and out came a tide

G D A

And I let them know what to follow

G D G D

And I cried Mother, Sister won't you comfort me

Downtown's locked up for the night

G D G D A D G D

And I don't have a key

Mother, sister comfort me

G D

Feel so wet and cold

And downtown's lights look like a fire

G D

As I'm headed out towards the show

You know I've gone to live one thousand lives

G D

And to die one thousand deaths

But lately baby, got me scared

G D

Ain't got too much left

But the ones that I had spent with you

G D

Were the best that I ever had
