Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

-

I'll say it straight and plain

 I know I've made mistakes

 I've always been afraid

 I've always been afraid

 A thousand nights or more

 I travelled east and north

 Please answer the door

Chorus

-

(Pause)

Can you tell me

You say that love goes anywhere

 In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there

 When you go, I'll let you be

 But you're killing everything in me

Verse 2

-

Get down on your knees

 Whisper what i need

 Something pretty

 Something pretty

 I feel that when I'm old

 I'll look at you and know

 The world was beautiful

Chorus

-

(Pause)

Can you tell me

You say that love goes anywhere

 In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there

 When you go, I'll let you be

 But you're killing everything in me

Bridge

-

I'm done, there's nothing left to show

 Try but I can't let go

 Are you happy where you're standing still?

 Do you really want the sugar pill?

 I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start

 Tonight it feels so hard

 As a train approaches, gare du nord

 As I'm sure your kiss remains employed

 Am I only dreaming?

Chorus

-

(Pause)

Can you tell me

You say that love goes anywhere

 In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there

 When you go, I'll let you be

 But you're killing everything in me
