    Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning, 
                   F                           G                      C 
    and you find out that those other days are gone? 
     F                        G                 C 
    All you have is memories of happiness 
     D           G   F   Em 
    lingerin' o............on. 

                  F                       G                      C 
    All your dreams and your lovers won't protect you, 
                 F                       G                       C 
    they're only passing through you in the end. 
                 F                               G                        C 
    They'll leave you stripped of all that they can get to, 
              D                                         G   F   Em 
    and wait for you to come back aga.......…...in. 

C            F       G           C 
    Yet still a light is shining 
                    F             G            C 
    from that lamp on down the hall, 
F                     G         C 
    maybe the star of Bethlehem 
      D                      G   F   Em       C 
   wasn't a star at a..........…....ll.
