        G                   D               G
I can't help it if I have a widower's heart.

        G                     D                   C
I try to get out of bed but I can't seem to start.

     D                      G                 C
When I hit the road, it was freezing and dark.

  G              Em         C            G
I hope that it's warmer wherever you are.


  G                             D                G
I turned to say I'm sorry and I tried to explain.

        G                       D                C
But the room, it was empty, and bitter, and drained.

   D                         G             C
No songs from the angels, no blood in my veins,

      G      Em            C        G
Could ever replace you and here I remain. 



C  G    Em
Oh rain,

     G           Em          C         G
Come wash me and keep me and take me away.

    G                           D               G
New York was a rough place that treated me well.

    G                       D              C
You bragged of religion and put me through hell.

      D                          G           C
Maybe I'm better off, maybe it's hard to tell.

       G              Em               C              G
When I left you were sleeping through trumpets and bells.

         G                           D            G
Just one moment of peace, that would suit me so fine.

         G                      D              C
But it's echoes and glimpses of beautiful times.

        D                        G              C
And I'm sure it's much harder on your end then mine,

       G          Em               C            G
If you ever pass through here, I'm not hard to find.
