[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
Chorus
Outro
[D] [G]
