[C#m] The sun is rising [B] so late [E] it's early
[C#] I've made myself [B] too thin [E] again
[C#] But guess who I know at [B] my guilty [E]
[C#] party
Me and the silence [B] have become [A] old friends
Father make me [E] leave for [B] your [A] daughters
Mother take it [E] easy on [B] your [A] son
Sister found it's [E] like a [B] tightrope [F#] walker
But now you've [A] got to keep [B] fair on your [C#] heart
[C#m]
My solitude [B] make [E] me [C#] softer
[B] Suffering is not [E] in [C#] vain
Of the precious [B] things how [E] much [C#] longer
Will I have to [B] wait to see you [A] well free from pain
I'd like to [E] leave for [B] your daughters
[A] Mother take it [E] easy on [B] your [A] son
It's [E] like a [B] tightrope [F#m] walker
But now you've [A] got to keep [B] fair on your [C#m] heart
