Well, my friends are [B] gone and my hair is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play [E] and I'm crazy for love
But I'm not [B] coming on
[F#] I'm just paying my rent every [E] day in the Tower [B] of Song
I said to Hank Williams how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet, but [E] I hear him coughing
[B] all night long
Oh [F#m] a hundred [C#] floors above [E] me
in the Tower [B] of Song
[Bm]

[B] [F#]
[B] [F#]
I [B] was born like this
I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
[E] and 27 angels
from the great [B] beyond
[F#] They tied me to this table [E] right here in the [B] Tower of Song
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby.
It doesn't look like me at all.
[E] I'm standing by the window
[G] Where the light [B] is strong
How [F#] they don't let a woman kill [E] you
not in the Tower [B] of Song
[E]
[B] [F#]
[B] [F#]
Now [B] you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
The rich have [F#m] got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor and [E] there's a mighty judgment coming
But I may [B] be wrong
You [F#] see I hear these funny voices [E] in the Tower [B] of Song
I
[G#m] See standing [F#] on the other side [G#m] I don't
How the [F#] river got so wide [E] I loved you, baby
Way [B] back when
And [G#m] all the bridges are burning [F#] that we might have crossed
But [G#m] I feel so close to [F#] everything we lost [E] we'll never
We'll never lose [F#] it again
[B] Did [B] you farewell don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to the tower down the track, but [E] you'll be hearing from me, baby
long after
[B]
[F#] I'll be speaking to you [E] sweetly from a window [Em] the Tower [B] of Song
[E]
[B]
[F#] [B]
[F#] [B] Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is green I
In the places where I used to play [E] and I'm crazy for love
