Chorus:
Only when you’re gAmone. Only when you’re Emgone
Only when you’re Amgone and away, only when you’re Emgone

Gonna need a hammer and Amnails
To construct this bitter Emlove song
This cruel testamAment in song
That rings out only when you’re Emgone
Chorus
Verse 2:
EmRude are the tongues of love that speak of mercy for us all
That leave us only with a Amsong
That leEmave us only with a song
Now it’Ams a cold and hollow whisper
That Emconsumes my body when you’re gone
Chorus
And it’s only when you’re Ggone and Bmaway
EmMy ghost looks (?) in that special way
It’s a nice Ghotel, my homeBmtown
EmCome feel the darkness of this prison cell
I love you long and I love you well
Verse 3:
So bury me in the Amkitchen, bury me into Emstone
Oh, bury me everywhere you Amgo
In the shEmadows of the hallway
Verse 4:
A faAmll we do not longer know, 
What we can no longer Emhold
On days like these our heads fill up with Amsmoke
And our mEmemories grow old
Chorus x3
 Am Em

My ghost looks (?) in that special way

It’s a nice hotel, my hometown

Come feel the darkness of this prison cell

I love you long and I love you well

So bury me in the kitchen, bury me into stone

Oh, bury me everywhere you go

On days like these our heads fill up with smoke

And our memories grow old
