	        D#m, C#, G# (or

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
