[Verse 1]
Am F Am
I’m blinded, now I see that I
Am F Am
Could not hold you. My orange tree lived
Am F Am
In the darkened room for three of us to
Am F Am
Share.
Am F Am
Maybe you were free before my
Am F Am
Blackened wing covered you.
Am F Am
I took the sing from your song.
Am G Am
I made a bed where you don’t belong.
[Chorus]
F C Am G
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,
F C Am G
Black sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.
F C Am G
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,
F C Am F G
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love.
F Am
And now I’m going places on my own.
[Verse 2]
Am F Am
Blinded, now I see that death moves
Am F Am
Amongst us and with such ease the rafters
Am F Am
Surround us. These silent beasts are hard
Am F Am
To bear.
Am F Am
Lonely, oh, no, not me,
Am F Am
I have a grave to dig. Fast moving feet
Am F Am
You gave me light where it once was gone.
Am G
I made a bed where you don’t belong.
[Chorus]
F C Am G
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,
F C Am G
Black sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.
F C Am G
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,
F C Am F G
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love.
F Am
And now I’m going places on my own.
