Intro

Dsus2 Em

Dsus2                     Em
I sit and watch the moon, fall beneath the towers.
Dsus2                       G
I could see downtown, if it weren't for the fog.
Dsus2              Em 
I'm here alone, at this un-Godly hour,
Dsus2                           G     Dsus2       Em
'Cause I've nothing else to do, since you've been gone.

Dsus2                 Em 
I'd hang the moon, if I had the power.
Dsus2                           G
If I had the power, baby, then, I'd still have you.
Dsus2                         Em 
If I still had you, this time I'd buy you flowers,
Dsus2                        G   Dsus2 Em 
But I spent my flower money, on a new .22

Dsus2             Em 
Took my .22, down to the river.
Dsus2                  G
The River Trinity, she never run so blue.
Dsus2                 Em
Blue is the color, of my feelings.
Dsus2                       G      Dsus2 Em
Feelings that I can't bare, to take anymore.

Dsus2                    Em 
In a three-piece suit, I stepped into the water.
Dsus2                        G
The water's colder now, than I recall.
Dsus2                             Em
I recall when you said to me, our love would last forever.
Dsus2                            G             Dsus2 Em
Forever's just a lie, darling, I thought you'd never tell.

Dsus2                     Em
Pistol in my hand, hammer cocked and ready.
Dsus2                          G     
I'm ready to end it all, there ain't no other way.
Dsus2                             Em
Way back inside of my mind, I can hear you laughing.
Dsus2                                        G     Dsus2
Your laughing used to bring me joy, but I'll laugh last 
Em
today.
Dsus2      G    Em
I'll laugh last today.

Dsus2                           Em
With a bang and a splash, I let the current take me.
Dsus2                          G            Em
Take me to the place that, I'm singing from today.
Dsus2                       Em
Today I wonder, if you ever truely loved me.
Dsus2                                   G            Dsus2
True love's what gave me life, and true love took my life 
Em
away.
