_ From the corner of my eye, I see a tear [Am] rolling down
At the [F] time I couldn't tell the scale
_ If it was [F] mine I should be glad that there ain't [Am] this in this cage

I [F] hear sweethearts whisper their [Am] undying love
[F] But the [C] noise on the key, their [Am] voices rise
[F] Must have something so strong in [E] the face of such change
[F] That they can promise and promise [Am] all night
_ [F] _ Oh, their [Am] undying love
_ [F] _ Hear their undying love

what you [Dm] wouldn't give to [Em] be done _
[F] I'd fear [G] once again, _ [C] far away from [Dm] the cries
Of [Em] this warm weary [F] [G] hoard
Up _ [C] _ _
there in the [Dm] clouds
Must [Em] be hard to [F] endure [G] when your [F] heart's unsure
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [F] Like a knife in my gut, _ [Am] you're taking me
