The hour's late and the [C#m] lights are low [A] I'm walking home just [B] kicking stones
I [E] waited at the depot, [C#m] you never showed You missed [A] the last bus hours [B] ago
[E] I remember the first time I [C#m] saw you on the street
[E] You looked so pretty, [A] my heart skipped a beat I can't wait any longer
[B] But I still feel the heat [E] I'm down but I'm still [B] on my feet
[E] I walked on [C#m] down by the old [A] fairground Up from the [B] docks blew a lonely sound
[E] I sat for a [C#m] while on the cold hard ground [A] Watched the stars slowly [B] turn
As the earth spun [E] around As the past pulls [C#m] behind
Up ahead there's a [E] crack Of light shining [A] bright through the night
So black, like a runaway [B] train Rolling down the track
[E] From here there's no [B] turning back
[E] Listen to me baby, once upon a [A] time My heart was an [B] ocean, you swam against the
[E] tide The time has passed with grieving, my tears
have all run [A] dry I leave you with my [B] lover now
I [E] say goodbye
[A]
[E] [A] [E] The farm's [C#m] broken, the glasses are [A] cracked The cars are all [B] dealt out and the chips have
been [E] stacked The lampshade's [C#m] busted and the curtains are
[A] torn The door keeps [B] knocking but there's nobody [E] home
I stood by the [C#m] road, brushed a tear from my [E] eye
Cursed the cars and the [A] rain and the rolling skies
I turned [B] around, turned my back on that [E] town I never looked [B] back again
[E] Listen to me baby, once upon a [A] time My heart was an [B] ocean, you swam against the
[E] tide The time has passed with grieving, my tears
have all run dry [A] I leave you with my [B] lover now
