Capo on 1st fret
D#m, C#, G# (or
to get rid of all the sharps)
D#m
All this time I'd never let you go
C# G#
And now the same chains that I've kept you in are holding down my soul
D#m
I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire
C# G#
And now you knocked me down you shut me out and I can see it in your eyes
F#
Somehow you got it in your head, that you can make it on your own
G#
You were sheltered, loved, and fed but you just couldn't leave it alone
Chorus (repeat x2)
D#m
Leave it alone, leave it alone
C# G#
Leave it alone, leave it alone
D#m
Well your heart was here, resting on my lap
C# G#
and I'd do it all again but I'm never coming back
D#m
Well I know I'm lying, lying in the cold
C# G#
Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself, I'll be leaving down the road
F#
I've been all around the world but I've got nowhere to go
G#
I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now so
Chorus + Instrumental
D#m
The ghosts are on the green each and every night
C# G#
Oh the distant light is the hardest part to take
D#m
That's the heart of all my pain lying in the cold
C# G#
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
D#m, C#, G# x2
D#m
Could it all be over now? We've seen it all the while
C# G#
There's no dimension to the clouds, and the moon and world around
D#m
That's the heart of all my pain, cause I don't wanna go
C# G#
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
