[Verse 1]
G C G
Cold, so cold as I walked away
D C G
Wishing you'd call me to come back and stay
G C G
Under the highway where I raise my hand
D C G
Where the late shift drivers understand
G C G
The wind it blew heavy, my blood it ran strong
D C G
I never could figure out where I belong
G C G
The sidewalks all empty, no stars in the sky
D C G
And in your bed not a tear in your eye
G C G
It was you all last night I was thinking of
D C G
Sometimes hate is as close as you can get to love
G C G
There's a place in my heart that is rotting away
D C G
Since you never said come back and stay
[Verse 2]
G C G
There's pills and there's powders, bottles and perfume
D C G
There's women, television, and fancy costumes
G C G
There's a feeling I'm starting to realize I miss
D C G
And it's nothing to do with her kiss
G C G
Sorry, I'm sorry, the words on my mind
D C G
I swear I'll do better come some other time
G C G
But tomorrow a long time and I'm feeling like hell
D C G
Still, I think that I hope you're well.
[Verse 3]
G C G
That night as the taxis all drove through the street
D C G
I was just a servent of destiny
G C G
Oh to struggle with nurture, the modern disease
D C G
I am tearing the leaves off of trees
