D#m, C#, G# (or Capo 1 to get rid of all the sharps)
D#m 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 D#m 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)] D#m Leave it alone, leave it alone C#G# Leave it alone, leave it alone
D#m Well your heart was here, resting on my lap C#G# and I'd do it all again but I'm never coming back D#m 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]
D#m The ghosts are on the green each and every night C#G# Oh the distant light is the hardest part to take D#m 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
D#m, C#, G# [x2]
D#m 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 D#m 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
