Well, my friends are gone and my hair is gray.
[B] I ache in the places where I used to play.
[E] And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not [B] coming home.
I'm [F#] just paying my rent [E] every day in the Tower [B] of Sol.
I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet, but [E] I'll hear him coughing.
All [B] night long.
[F#] Oh, a hundred floors above [E] me in the Tower [B] of Sol.
[E]
[B] [F#]
I [B] was born like this.
I had no choice.
I was born with the gift [A#] of eagles and voyeurs.
[E] And 27 angels from the great [B] beyond.
Well, [F#] they tied me to this table [E] right here in the Tower [B] of Sol.
So you can stick your little fins in that voodoo doll.
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all.
[E] I'm standing by the window where the light [B] is strong.
[F#] They don't let a woman kill [E] you, not in the Tower [B] of Sol.

[F#]
Well, [B] you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure.
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
and [E] has a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong.
[B] You [F#] see, I hear these funny [E] voices in the Tower [B] of Sol.
[G#m] I see you standing [F#] on the other side.
[G#m]
Don't know how the river [F#] got so wide.
[E] I loved you, baby, way [B] back when.
[G#m] And all the bridges are burning [F#] that we might have crossed.
[G#m] We feel so close to [F#]
everything we've lost.
[E] We'll never, we'll never have to lose it [F#]
again.
So [B] I bid you farewell.
Don't know when I'll be back.
There'll be no loss tomorrow to the Tower down the track,
but [E] you'll be hearing from me, baby,
long after I'm gone.
[B]
I'll [F#] be speaking to you sweetly [B] from my window in the Tower of Sol.

Well, [B] my friends, I'm calm and my hair is gray.
I think of the places where I used to play, and [E] I'm crazy for love.
But I'm not [B] calm.
I'm [F#] just paying my rent, [E] everything [G#] in the Tower [B] of Sol.
