This is the place where she lay her head when she went to bed at night.
And this is the place our children were conceived.
Candles lit the room at night.
And this is the place [C] where she cut her wrists [A] that odd and [C] fateful night.
And I [Am] said, oh, [Bm] oh, oh, [C] oh, [D] oh, oh, [G] what a feeling.

[Eb] [G]
This is the place where we used to [F] live.
[G] I paid for it with love and blood.
These are the boxes that she kept on the shelf
[Eb] filled with [G] her poetry and stuff.
And this is the room [C] where she took the razor [Am] and cut her wrists that strange and [C] fateful night.
And [Am] I said, oh, [Bm] oh, oh, [C] oh, [G] oh, oh, what a feeling.
And I [A] said, oh, [B] oh, oh,
[C] oh, [D] oh, oh, what [G]
a feeling.
I never would have started if I'd known that [C] it'd end this way.
[A] But funny thing, I'm not at all sad that it [G] stopped this [A] way.
