INTRO [D] [G]
[G] All alone... [D] Late at night
[C] As he lay… [G] Sleeping
[C] She sat all quiet… [G] in the dark
[C] The fire had… [D] coughed its last [G] spark
[G] Thinking that she … [D] Might turn in
[C] To lay down… [G] Beside him
[C] But the coals…[G] Where still warm
[C] More then her [D] heart had ever [G] burned
[Am] Lately [C] she had [G] felt
[Am] The cold of [C] winter in [G] herself
[F] The wind it [C] blew a[G]round
Like the [F] dream she had [C] as a child that [G] now could not be [D] found
[G] She had no place… [D] She could go
[C] As the hours…[G] wore on
[C] The ground outside …[G] it was frozen
[C] And this was the [D] life she had [G] chosen
[Am] So she laid herself [C] down to [G] sleep
She could [Am] see her breath in the [C] cold night air she could [G] feel her heart [D] break
Chorus
[G] She awoke… when the [D] sun was high
[C] To the smell… of burnt [G] coffee
[C] The bags were packed… for the [G] trip back home
[C] He said we got to get [D] out of here by [G] noon.
[G] She looked…[D] out at him
[C] As they [G] drove home
[C] She said darling…you [G] know I love you
[C] He laid his [D] hand on [G] hers

[G] [D]
[C] [G] [D]
[G] Happiness is [D] miles away
It takes about [C] seven days to get there from [G] here [D]
And [G] if you want, I’ll [D] be your man,
I’ll hold you by your [C] weathered hand
and show you [G] there to[D]day
But, my [G] history is one [D] big pit falls
Of [C] bad mistakes with no [G] regrets left to [D] speak of [G]
Still, some[C]where on that [D] winding path, i’ll [G] see ya
Still some[C]where beneath the [D] rubble of the [G] aftermath, there’s [Em] love
Is there [C] love in the [D] aftermath of [G] love?
I hope there’s [C] love in the [D] aftermath of [G] love
Intro
[G] I’m living in a [D] desperate world,
Another [C] one night stand, another [G] nameless [D] girl
She [G] has a face that I have [D] seen before
on every [C] lonely girl in this [G] barstool [D] world
Thats when she [G] realized, that I [D] wasn’t like
all the [C] other guys that came be[G]fore [D] me [G]

Loving lost in a wingless regret
F G
See my precious wishes tried
D G
Loving lost in a wingless regret

Sitting in dusky embers of dark
Wondering if I could ever fly
Sitting in dusky embers of dark
Damped by life I won’t even try

But they left me in the air
Hovering to the tune of...
Whispering from the depths of...
Hovering to the tune of...
And singing from my soul

Maybe I’ll be coming along
I believed that I was gone
I’m think that I won’t be long

Trembling thoughts
And I cried for wings
