F5 C5 Let me tell you about this torch I carry - A5 Bb5 - It?s not much of a career, G5 Bb5 And it won?t make my fortune, G5 Bb5 I fear. F5 C5 But it stays alight and won?t be buried; A5 Bb5 It?s brighter year by year, G5 Bb5 And someday it will surely G5 Bb5 Disappear. F5 When it does I?ll know I?ve laid to rest C5 The ghost of your unhappiness F5 That creeps around from room to room , A5 Bb5 G5 A widow on a honeymoon, Bb5 F5 C5 F5 A shadow on a harvest moon. F5 C5 So put away this torch you carry, A5 Bb5 For it?s doing you no good, G5 Bb5 And surely you know by now, G5 Bb5 That you should; F5 C5 And come the day you die or marry, A5 Bb5 Will you be understood G5 Bb5 When you say that you wanted G5 Bb5 But never could F5 Turn your back and lay to rest C5 The ghost of your unhappiness F5 That flits around from room to room , A5 Bb5 G5 A widow on a honeymoon, Bb5 F5 C5 F5 A shadow on a harvest moon. F5 I write these words to make them true, C5 ?I?ve drowned my torch and so should F5 C5 you?. G5 I write these words to make them true, Bb5 ?I?ve drowned my torch and so should F5 D5 you?. G5 I write these words to make them true, Bb5 ?I?ve drowned my torch and so should F5 you?.
