My [Am]bell tower's [Em]ringing but it[F] isn't you [G]singing
we [Am]don't know that [Em]song any[F]more

this[Am] tangle of [Em]fate outside my [F]door

my[Am] blue shoes are [Em]draggin the [F]line
[-] [F] [-]
Leave a [C]lantern, on the [Am]trail
I'm not [F]asking for [C]much just your [G]meadowsweet [F]touch
If by [C]morning you're [G]ready to [Am]sail
don't [F]wait for so [C]long cause you [G]know that I'm [F]gone
[-] [F] [-]
You can [Am]lock up your [Em]treasure and [F]take drastic [G]measures
we [Am]march toward the [Em]grave all the [F]same
it's a [Am]short life of [Em]trouble your [F]church turns to [G]rubble
and [Am]beauty has [Em]never had a [F]name
well my [Am]head's in your [Em]branches, I [F]squandered my [G]chances
I've [Am]given the [Em]last I can [F]give
this [Am]empire's [Em]falling the [F]pace is [G]appalling
how [Am]can a poor man [Em]stand such time and [F]live
