Darling, that [Bb] morning you chose to go, I awoke in my boots and [Eb] blow.
You're digging my car, I [Bb] stole my cash, even my $500 super [Eb] slash.
And I just lay there watching [Bb] the sun fall down from the sky,
[Eb] not wanting to open the letter, but open it anyway and see a news two [F] verse.
[Eb] Lover, lover, goodbye, [Bb] so slowly goes [Eb] the night.
[Bb]
Next [Cm] to me lies your body playing like [F] the map of some forbidden land.
I trace [Eb] the ghost of your [Bb] bones with my trembling [Fm] hand.
Dark [Cm] is my night and darker [Fm] is my day.
[Cm] I must be [Ab]
blind, I'm out of [Bb] my mind, I [Gm] never, never saw the [Ab] warning sign.
[Fm] How goes it, [Gm] it goes a lonely, [D] it goes slowly.
As all slowly goes [Eb] the night, [Bb] a ten lonely days, a [Eb] ten lonely nights.
[Bb] Come, I'll watch [Cm] the moon get grey [F] each night.
I feel the moon because the skin in my, the [Eb] skin's like my sins.
[Bb] I send to cover and comfort [Fm] you.
I know [Cm] the heaven, but honey I [Fm] know the hell.
[Cm] I [Ab] hang on my head, I toss in my [Bb] bed, I never, [Gm] never forget the [Ab] words you said.
One evening [Gm] I'm leaving [D] and I laugh and check the breathing.
I said, darling, I go slowly [Eb] through the night.
[Bb] Oh baby, I [Eb] feel the hill of time [Bb] and it hurts.
I wake to [Cm] find you sitting right [F] there, cutting tangles out of your hair.
I'm [Eb] singing a song that's so long, hey [Bb] but that's a lie.
I [Cm] don't care, [Fm] no, [Cm] I'm sorry for all your [Fm] misery.
[Cm] I [Ab] reach out and embrace [Bb] and empty space, a song that slowly, [Ab] slowly fades.
[Fm] Well goes it, [Gm] it goes someplace, [D] it goes somewhere with no name.
And black [Eb] as the night.
[Bb]
[Eb] Let's put things [Bb] right, put things right.
I hang [Cm] my head and cry, cry, [F] cry.
Darling, all that I try.
[Eb] I see that I resign for [Bb] this mad, mad season.
[Fm] And I stay up so [Cm] long, I can't remember being alive.
Call it sleep, call it death, call [Fm] it what you
[F] like.
But [Cm] only sleep, only sleep brings you back to [Fm] [Cm] life.
I hang [Ab] my head, I [Bb] toss and I sweat.
[Gm] I never, never, never can [Ab] forget.
[Fm] How goes it, well [Gm] I'm going, [D] ever slowly, slowly going.
And we both know that it's gonna be [Gm] alright.
[Eb] [Bb]
Thank you, [Eb] the past is rock, rock, rock.
[Bb] Mmm, ten lonely [Eb] days, ten lonely [Bb] nights.
Ah, since [Eb] you left my side, [Bb] side, side.
You're digging my car, I [Bb] stole my cash, even my $500 super [Eb] slash.
