lyrics

[Capo @ 1st Fret]
CMaj7 D6 G
I, don’t know, where I am standing
CMaj7 D6 G
My friends, just sat, on the fire.
CMaj7 D6 G
Ev, -eryone here, drives grey or tan cars,
CMaj7 D6 G
I think, they’ve taken life too far.


Em C G
But surely his eyes are gold.
Em C G
And surely his hands are warm.


CMaj7 D6 G
Let me sleep, alone tonight.
CMaj7 D6 G
I’m afraid, of your song.
CMaj7 D6 G
Let me sleep, alone tonight.
CMaj7 D6 G
I swear I won’t miss you when you’re gone.



CMaj7 D6 G
I, am alone, in a closing building,
CMaj7 D6 G
My pen, is stuck, on the page.
CMaj7 D6 G
Ev, -ery word, fights the melody,
CMaj7 D6 G
I think, they’re sick of my company.


Em C G
But surely his eyes are gold.
Em C G
And surely his hands are warm.


CMaj7 D6 G
Let me sleep, alone tonight.
CMaj7 D6 G
I’m afraid, of your song.
CMaj7 D6 G
Let me sleep, alone tonight.
CMaj7 D6 G
I swear I won’t miss you when you’re gone.
