Staring at the dark again you left you silhouette upon my pillow
D                                  C                   G               D       D  C  G  D
Right inside the night I'm waiting for the light seems like I'm in the middle
[2 bar break]
D                                     C                  G                  D   D  C  G  D
Searching for some thing that I can't touch or sometimes can't even believe in
D                                C                    G                D     D        C  G
Cradled by the hands of fate the faith that sometimes wraps around too tight so tight
[Chorus]
             D   C        G      A  D         D           C           G
They call me freeeee, but I call me fool 
[2 bar break] 
(same rhythm and chords)
Now I look back at April, but she won't look back at me, oh no no
So I pray in May for June to stay, but she just came to wash into the sea, away

D                               C                     G
Slipped down between the sheets started talking 'bout Pistol Pete
D                           C                     G
Slipped down to the African started talking 'bout what she can do

And here we are again back where we started
