Lament

[Intro]

F#m

[Verse 1]
Bm                                   C#m
It's strange the way that past seems always fine
          Amaj7                     F#m
While the present wears me down and time and time
              Bm                  C#m
And time lies heavy over me as it does over you
        Amaj7                        F#m
And the distance and what you said I know it wasn't true
Bm
Every hour,
                C#m
every minute is like a hundred years
        Amaj7                          F#m
And the pain I feel is measured not in inches but in tears
   Bm
So close, so woman, friend or foe
C#m     Amaj7             F#m
   Just hold me close and please don't let me go

[Verse 2]
Bm C#m Amaj7 F#m
                Well,
   Bm                    C#m
my life now is ok in the morning in the day
        Amaj7
But the night is long the night is sad
F#m    Bm                       C#m
   And that’s when I have the dreams I know you never had
  Amaj7
I know that I was wrong,
  F#m
I know that I was bad
   Bm                        C#m
So baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
    Amaj7
baby
          F#m
Won't you come this way?

[Bridge]
Bm C#m Amaj7
F#m    Bm
   I'm walking down the street

[Verse 4]
C#m                      Amaj7
   I see the people that meet each other
                           F#m
They kiss and talk and talk   and kiss and talk
      Bm
But I feel so alone
C#m        Amaj7
   And the world is made of stone
    F#m                   Bm
And everybody’s freezing  to the bones
C#m          Amaj7
   Even known     it might be warm
          F#m
Even known   it isn't cold
     Bm                              C#m
It's strange the way that past seems always fine
          Amaj7                     F#m
While the present wears me down and time and time
              Bm                  C#m
And time lies heavy over me as it does over you
        Amaj7                        F#m
And the distance and what you said I know it wasn't true
