G Am7 C Em
Please mother mercy take me from this place
G Am7 C F
And the long winded curses I keep hearing in my head
G Am7 C Em
Words never listen and teachers never learn
G Am7 C F
Now I'm warm from the candle but I feel to cold to burn
[Pre-Chorus]
He came from an island and he died from the street

New like a baby, lost like a prayer
G Am7 C F
The sky was your playground but the cold ground was your bed
G Am7 C Em
Poor stargazer she's got no tears in her eyes
G Am7 C F
Smooth like a whisper she knows that love heals all wounds with time

You better seek out another road baby, coz this one has ended abrupt.
