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
