[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em
Silently hoping, desperately coping
F#7
With all her love in vain
C Am6/C B7
Her nails to the knot in her heart
Baug Em Am Em
To the ball and the chain
[Verse 2]
Em
Laughter invites her and pleasure incites her
F#7
But still she feels no pain
C Am6/C
Then the foul-mouthed angel
B7 Baug Em Am Em
He calls her by her maiden name
[Chorus]
A6
Oh
G6/A
Only by memory
Bm7
Everything passes and everything changes
C B7
Black and white fade into grey
A6
Oh
G6/A
Only by memory
Bm7
This old world turning, longing and yearning
C B7
She hopes that it won’t turn away
N.C.
Oh please let her stay
[Break]
Em F#7 C Am6/C B7 Baug Em Am Em
[Verse 3]
Em
Shadows returning, the fire’s still burning
F#7
It shines so bright a light
C Am6/C
In the eye of the hurricane
B7 Em Am Em
That patiently witnessed the night
[Verse 4]
Em
Anger and shame that she cannot explain
F#7
They are ready for the fight
C Am6/C
But I’m closing the book
B7 Baug Em Am Em
On a page that I never will write, right, write
[Chorus]
A6
Oh
G6/A
Only by memory
Bm7
Everything passes and everything changes
C B7
Black and white fade into grey
A6
Oh
G6/A
Only by memory
Bm7
This old world turning, longing and yearning
C B7
She hopes that it won’t turn away
n.c. Em
Oh please let her stay
[Break]
