Intro: |G Bb| |G Bb A| |G Bb| |G Bb A|Verse 1:
G Words can stab as deep as night G And cut like a razored thorn G Bitter air and the?winds?of spite G Like the?cold of winter's scorn C Leaves may fall?on sleeping ground C G But the wind sweeps them away D C Like hurt lovers in the final round G What once was is now decayedPost-Chorus |G Bb| |G Bb A| |G Bb| |G Bb A|D C G I can't go on, livin' alone now that you're goneVerse 2:
G A single strand of spider's weave G Just dancin' in the sun C Please don't turn around and leave G You are my only one C Compromise is made out of peace G But history's made out of violence D C After the war of the worlds has ceased G All that's left is the deafenin' silenceInstrumental Bridge N.C. |G Bb| |G Bb| |G Bb| |G Bb| C C G G C C G G D C G GD C G I can't go on livin' alone now that you're gone D C G N.C. You done me wrong, so here's your song, now sing along, babyVerse 3:
C Well, I know you know that you're killin' me G But it's worth it just to see you smile C Tell 'em to carve my name in the barstool, baby D You know I'm gonna be here a while G A single strand of spider's weave G Just dancin' in the sun C Please don't turn around and leave G You are my only oneD C G I can't go on livin' alone now that you're gone D C G You done me wrong, so here's your song, now sing along
