Chords for City and Colour - The Lonely Life (Live at the Edge)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
What if I did not love you? _ _
[Eb] Where would that lead me? _ _ _
[Gm] Would I wander through the avenues
Under [Gm] a pall of misery? _ _ _ _
Would I be facedown in a gutter
With cheap whiskey on my _ head? _
_ Lonely life of a writer _
Whose words could not pay his debts
And saying, please [Eb] don't, please don't [Bb] pass me by
[F] I [Gm] am a love, oh [Eb] can't you see?
I have been [Bb] blinded completely _
[Gm] _ Please don't, please [Bb] don't pass me by _
[Gm] I am a love, oh can't you [Eb] see?
I [Bb] am pleading for your mercy
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And what if we became strangers? _
[Eb] Would you notice my face in the crowd? _ _
[Gm] _ Could you hear the sorrow in my voice?
Helplessly crying your name out loud
Would _ I be searching for a savior?
But, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ lonely life of a writer _
[Eb] With one last desperate _ request
And now [Gm] singing, please [Eb] don't, please don't [Bb] pass me by
[F] _
[Gm] I am a love, oh can't you [Eb] see?
I have [Bb] been blinded completely _
_ [Eb] Please don't, please [Bb] don't pass me by
[F] _
[Gm] I am a love, oh can't you [Eb] see?
I [Bb] am pleading for your mercy
[F] On _ the [Cm] lam, [Bb] being hunted
_ [Gm] Sound the fears, _
[Cm] the sea down and tight
You [F] ain't spook no man
But I [Cm] was just hoping, these stone filled skies [Eb] were clear _ _
[Gm] Please [Eb] don't, please don't pass [Bb] me by _ _
[Gm] Please [Eb] don't, please don't pass [Bb] me by _ _ _
Please [Eb] don't, please don't pass [Bb] me by
[F] I [Gm] am a love, oh can't you [Eb] see?
[Bb] I am pleading for [F] your mercy
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
