Dm
All this time I'd never let you go
C G
And now the same chains that I've kept you in are holding down my soul
Dm
I set you up I gave you life I dragged you out the fire
C G
And now you knocked me down you shut me out and I can see it in your eyes
F
Somehow you got it in your head that you can make it on your own
G
You were sheltered loved and fed but you just couldn't leave it alone
[Chorus (repeat x2)]
Dm
Leave it alone leave it alone
C G
Leave it alone leave it alone
Dm
Well your heart was here resting on my lap
C G
and I'd do it all again but I'm never coming back
Dm
Well I know I'm lying lying in the cold
C G
Yeah there's snow on the ground and if I know myself I'll be leaving down the road
F
I've been all around the world but I've got nowhere to go
G
I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now so
[Chorus + Instrumental]
Dm
The ghosts are on the green each and every night
C G
Oh the distant light is the hardest part to take
Dm
That's the heart of all my pain lying in the cold
C G
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe still we know
Dm, C, G [x2]
Dm
Could it all be over now We've seen it all the while
C G
There's no dimension to the clouds and the moon and world around
Dm
That's the heart of all my pain cause I don't wanna go
C G
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe still we know
