	        INTRO : Am  Am9 
 
( Am  Am9 ) 
Solitude stands by the window 
She turns her head as I walk in the room 
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting 
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon 
And she turns to me with her hand extended 
 
 
F#m4/7                                    Am9/E  C7+  Bm7  C7+  D  Am  A9                   
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame 
Bm7  C7+  D  Am  A9 
 
( Am  Am9 ) 
Solitude stands in the doorway 
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette 
By her long cool stare and her silence 
I suddenly remember each time we've met 
And she turns to me with her hand extended 
 
  F#m4/7                                  Am9/E  C7+  Bm7  C7+  D                                      
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame 
 
( Am  Am9 )                         G              F 
And she says ';I've come to set a twisted thing straight'; 
 
A9                                  G         F 
And she says ';I've come to lighten this dark heart'; 
 
C#m                                 B            A9 
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear 
 
C#m                                 B            A9 
And I say ';I've never thought of finding you here'; 
 
 
( Am9 ) 
I turn to the crowd as they're watching   e- chords.com 
They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm 
I wanted to be in there among them 
I see how their eyes are gathered into one 
And then she turns to me with her hand extended 
 
F#m4/7                                    Am9/E  C7+  Bm7  C7+  D 
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame 
 
 (Am  Am9 )                        G              F 
And she says ';I've come to set a twisted thing straight'; 
 
Am9                                  G       F 
And she says';l've come to lighten this dark heart'; 
 
C#m                                  B         A9 
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear 
 
C#m                               B           A9 
And I say ';I've never thought of finding you here'; 
 
Am9 
Solitude stands in the doorway 
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette 
By her long cool stare and her silence 
I suddenly remember each time we've met 
And she turns to me with her hand extended 
 
F#m4/7                                    Am9/E 
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
