Verse:
Gbm
Just a moment dear
Dbm
I hear someone at the door
Bm
And the beating of a heart
E
That I hid beneath the floor
D Db
They've come for me love
Gbm
Save yourself
Dbm
I am far beyond repair
Bm
They will bury me alive
E
But I'm not inclined to care
D Db
I am too far gone now
Interlude: Gbm
Bm Gbm
So dry your eyes and count to ten
Dbm E
They'll have me on the pyre by then
Bm Gbm
Forget the man I used to be
Dbm E
You'll move a long more easily
Gbm
a moment dear
Dbm
I hear someone in the hall
Bm
And the plundering of promises
E
We hung up on the wall
D Db
They've come for us love
Gbm Dbm
Save yourself I am bitter to the bone
Bm
And I'm growing rather fond
E
Of the wandering alone
D Db
I am too far gone now
Interlude: Gbm
Bm Gbm
So dry your eyes and count to ten
Db Dbm E
They'll have me on the pyre by then
Bm Gbm
Forget the man I used to be
Dbm E
You'll move a long more easily
Gbm Dbm E
Now I must finish what I started
Gbm Dbm E
I'll write a symphony for the departed
Gbm Dbm E
I have no time for second chances
Gbm Dbm E
So I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances
G
So the scene begins
Dbm
Your cries become the wind
D Gbm
a desperate plea best left unheard
G
Then my contrived goodbye
Dbm
a poet's pantomime
D E
a drunken jester's final words
Interlude: Em E
