[F] I loved you baby, way [C] back when.

[A] But it feels so close to [G] everything that we've lost.
[F] We'll never, [C] we'll never have to lose it [G] again.
[Em]
[Fm] Well I bid you farewell, I don't know when [G] I'll be back.
They're [C] moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track.

long after [Cm] I'm gone.
I'll [G] be speaking to you sweetly [Cm] from a window [F] in The Tower of [C] Song.
