Tom : G
Intro: Em G C G C G D C
Em C G
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
Em C G
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
Em C G C
I wish the stars up in the sky would all just call in sick
Em C D C
And the clouds would take the moon out on some one-way trip
Em C G
I drove all night down the streets that wouldn't bend
Em C G
But somehow they drove me back here once again
Em C G C
To the place I lost at love and the place I lost my soul
Em C D C
I wish I'd just burn down this place that we called home
C D C
It would all have been so easy if you'd only made me cry
C D C
And told me how you're leaving me to some organ grinder's lullaby
G C G C G D C
It's hard, so hard it's tearing out my heart it's hard letting you go
Em C G
Now the sky it shines a different kind of blue
Em C G
And the neighbours dog don't bark like he used to
Em C G C
Well - me, these days I just miss you, it's the nights I go insane
Em C D C
Unless you're coming back, for me, that's one thing I know that won't change
REFRÃO
Em D C Am Em D C Am
Ooooh Ooooh
C D G Em
Now some tarot card shark said I'll draw you a heart and we'll find you somebody else new
C D C D
But I've made my last trip to those carnival lips when I bet all that I had on you
REFRÃO
It's hard, so hard it's tearing out my heart but it's hard letting you go
