I am drinking in the afternoon, got whiskey on my breath.
DGD
And as I walk through Greenwich Village, with a suitcase full of clothes,

I am blinded by the afternoon and unsure where to go.

GBm
Will you come for me on days like this when I am broken down?

I have prayed for absolution that won't ever come around,
BmA? D
So if you love me, won't you please forgive me now?

Then I try to call my mother, but she's not around to talk,

So I wander through the fading day, oblivious and lost.

I've got a picture in my wallet of a girl I used to know,
BmGD
And another of my family, it's been too long since I've been home.
DGD
Now I'm waiting on a train. Where I'll end up, God only knows.
BmGD
Maybe I'll make my way back to her, but I guess I probably won't.

GBm
You are somewhere far away from me; I'm here all by myself.

Through the space between the two of us, wish I had something else.

'Cause I'd surrender up most anything if I thought it'd help somehow.
