G D C
[verse]
Em G
Well I've gotta change so I'm goin' away for a while
D G C G
I'm leaving today and please don't let time change your smile
Em G
oh and I am ashamed because habits became my life
D G C G
but no damn hurricane could rival the tears I have cried
[chorus]
Em G
and I'm always empty, don't you know me
G D C
by the time I get to you
G D C
oh it's terrible and true
[bridge]
Em G
G D C
G D C
(like how the chorus is played)
[verse]
Em G
and our minds they toil on seeds that never bloom
D G C G
and our plans are foiled and clouds forever loom
Em G
oh in winter's haste she always comes too soon
D G C G
and we pray upon another harvest moon
[chorus]
Em G
and I'm always empty, don't you know me
G D C
by the time I get to you
G D C
oh it's terrible and true
[bridge]
Em G
G D C
G D C
[verse]
Em G
and I hope when we're old your love for me is still true
D G C G
and the flames still burns through snow and rain and dew
Em G
'cause my heart is black as coal and beat to ruins
D G C G
oh its forged in steel and signatured to you
[chorus]
Em G
and I'm always empty, don't you know me
G D C
by the time I get to you
G D C
oh it's terrible and true
[chorus]
Em G
and I'm always empty, don't you know me
G D C
by the time I get to you
G D C
oh it's terrible and true
