Capo 2

Intro

Dsus2 Em

Dsus2 Em

I sit and watch the moon, fall beneath the towers.

Dsus2 G

I could see downtown, if it weren't for the fog.

Dsus2 Em

I'm here alone, at this un-Godly hour,

Dsus2 G Dsus2 Em

'Cause I've nothing else to do, since you've been gone.

Dsus2 Em

I'd hang the moon, if I had the power.

Dsus2 G

If I had the power, baby, then, I'd still have you.

Dsus2 Em

If I still had you, this time I'd buy you flowers,

Dsus2 G Dsus2 Em

But I spent my flower money, on a new .22

Dsus2 Em

Took my .22, down to the river.

Dsus2 G

The River Trinity, she never run so blue.

Dsus2 Em

Blue is the color, of my feelings.

Dsus2 G Dsus2 Em

Feelings that I can't bare, to take anymore.

Dsus2 Em

In a three-piece suit, I stepped into the water.

Dsus2 G

The water's colder now, than I recall.

Dsus2 Em

I recall when you said to me, our love would last forever.

Dsus2 G Dsus2 Em

Forever's just a lie, darling, I thought you'd never tell.

Dsus2 Em

Pistol in my hand, hammer cocked and ready.

Dsus2 G

I'm ready to end it all, there ain't no other way.

Dsus2 Em

Way back inside of my mind, I can hear you laughing.

Dsus2 G Dsus2

Your laughing used to bring me joy, but I'll laugh last

Em

today.

Dsus2 G Em

I'll laugh last today.

Dsus2 Em

With a bang and a splash, I let the current take me.

Dsus2 G Em

Take me to the place that, I'm singing from today.

Dsus2 Em

Today I wonder, if you ever truely loved me.

Dsus2 G Dsus2

True love's what gave me life, and true love took my life

Em

away.
