cant help it if i have a widowers heart
G5                   D5         G5                C5
i tried to get out of bed but i cant seem to start
     D5          G5            D5            C5         C5
when i hit the road it was freezing and dark
   G5            D5        C5           G5           G5
i hope that its warmer wherever you are

    G5          D5         G5              G5
i said I was sorry and turned to explain
G5                D5        G5            C5
the room it was empty and bitter and drained
    D5               G5       D5             C5
no songs from the angels no blood in my vein
G5           D5               C5      G5
could ever replace you and here i remain

C5    G5

G5                 D5           C5       G5

G5                 D5              G5              G5
new york was a rough place that suited me well
G5                   D5       G5              C5

      D5          G5             D5        C5
maybe im better off maybe its hard to tell 
    G5            D5                 C5           G5
and i left you asleeping through trumpets and bells

C5   G5
oh rain
G5             D5           C5           G5     
come wash me and keep me and take me away

      G5        D5                G5             G5
one moment of peace that would suit me so fine
G5                   D5     G5            C5
its echos and glimpses of beautiful times
D5          G5               D5            C5

    G5            D5                C5           G5

C5    G5
