[A]I felt empty and confused[G]
I sat there with your cl[C]othes near me[Em]
[A]I reached up and grabbed a lampl[G]ight
Which fell and broke[C]
Chorus 1
Well the what a day (???)
[A]I stared through empty eyes[G]
Of lavender m[C]oon and I
[Em]Far beyond your tears now
[A]Still outside[G] in the mist, drenched to the b[C]one
alt Em
And you sang
Chorus 1
Everything’s all right
Lick
Chorus 2
[A]We’d walked through summer field[G]s
C alt Em Chorus 1
Live the life of sin (???), cry on hard walls together, we did everything
[A]Well at night we talked and talk[G]ed
Questioned what the fu[C]ture embraced[Em]
[A]Hugging perfect sh[G]apes all day
Chorus 1
We’d lie and sleep in
Lick
Chorus 2
[A]But now you’ve left and gone
[G]And all I have are m[C]emories of you[Em]
[A]They return to me when I’m[G] asleep
[C]When dreams
alt Em
What I want to say was true (???)
