[Intro]
Em G D/F# Em
[Verse 1]
EmI wake uGp just the D/F#same everydEmay
AnGd the keyD/F#s to this caEmbin lay in the same place
Fortune is Gcalling, it's D/F#howling my Emname
But I kGeep the dD/F#oor shut so Emtomorrows the same
And Gthere were peoplF#e around until Emthe sky turned to grey
They were worried the sGtorm would blow this D/F#cabin awEmay
So they all packed their bGags and lD/F#eft that same Emday
Never since Gthen was the D/F#sky blue aEmgain
[Chorus]
EmI'm tGerriD/F#fied this Gis all there is
EmI'm sGcareD/F#d to deatGh that my best days are gone
EmI donG't cD/F#are for tGhe people what is it they think
EmWhat’Gs thD/F#e point iCn their prayers if I’m alone?
[Interlude]
Em G D/F# Em
[Verse 2]
EmSo I broke all the Gcandles and I D/F#burnt all the Emlights
And I boarded the Gwindows to keep the D/F#world out of Emsight
But I still see a mGonster in the dD/F#ead of the Emnight
He moves in my sGkin and he D/F#peers through my eEmyes
Says one day those Gpeople will come D/F#back the same Emway
And they’ll all say your brGilliant and D/F#it’ll all be Emokay
They’ll tattoo the Gwords of their D/F#songs to your Emskin
They’ll call you a Ggenius they’ll D/F#hail you a Emking
[Chorus]
EmI'm tGerriD/F#fied of mGy loneliness
EmI'm sGcareD/F#d to deatGh of the words in these songs
EmI donG't cD/F#are for tGhe people what is it they think
EmWhat’Gs thD/F#e point iCn their prayers if I’m alone?
EmJust GbrinD/F#g me up jGust one last weekend
EmWant Gto bD/F#reath a lGittle life just one more time
EmI heaGr I’D/F#m barely Gspeaking
EmJust GhummD/F#ing and sEminging dead songs in the night
[Interlude]
Em G D/F# Em
[Bridge]
EmDown on the Gcorner of oD/F#ld countess rEmoad
EmI can still Ghear the sD/F#ong of my lEmover old
EmWhere the good men they gGo when the D/F#good in them Emdies
EmI am haunted by the gGhost of her wD/F#ild green eEmyes

D/F#

[Intro]

Em G D/F# Em

[Verse 1]

Em G D/F# Em

I wake up just the same everyday

G D/F# Em

And the keys to this cabin lay in the same place

G D/F# Em

Fortune is calling, it's howling my name

G D/F# Em

But I keep the door shut so tomorrows the same

G F# Em

And there were people around until the sky turned to grey

G D/F# Em

They were worried the storm would blow this cabin away

G D/F# Em

So they all packed their bags and left that same day

G D/F# Em

Never since then was the sky blue again

[Chorus]

Em G D/F# G

I'm terrified this is all there is

Em G D/F# G

I'm scared to death that my best days are gone

Em G D/F# G

I don't care for the people what is it they think

Em G D/F# C

What’s the point in their prayers if I’m alone?

[Interlude]

Em G D/F# Em

[Verse 2]

Em G D/F# Em

So I broke all the candles and I burnt all the lights

G D/F# Em

And I boarded the windows to keep the world out of sight

G D/F# Em

But I still see a monster in the dead of the night

G D/F# Em

He moves in my skin and he peers through my eyes

G D/F# Em

Says one day those people will come back the same way

G D/F# Em

And they’ll all say your brilliant and it’ll all be okay

G D/F# Em

They’ll tattoo the words of their songs to your skin

G D/F# Em

They’ll call you a genius they’ll hail you a king

[Chorus]

Em G D/F# G

I'm terrified of my loneliness

Em G D/F# G

I'm scared to death of the words in these songs

Em G D/F# G

I don't care for the people what is it they think

Em G D/F# C

What’s the point in their prayers if I’m alone?

Em G D/F# G

Just bring me up just one last weekend

Em G D/F# G

Want to breath a little life just one more time

Em G D/F# G

I hear I’m barely speaking

Em G D/F# Em

Just humming and singing dead songs in the night

[Interlude]

Em G D/F# Em

[Bridge]

Em G D/F# Em

Down on the corner of old countess road

Em G D/F# Em

I can still hear the song of my lover old

Em G D/F# Em

Where the good men they go when the good in them dies

Em G D/F# Em

I am haunted by the ghost of her wild green eyes
