_ [F] From the corner of my eye I [Am] see a tear rolling [G] down
[F] At the time I couldn't tell whose [Am] tear it _ was
[F] If it was mine I should be glad [Am] that I still function in this [F] cage

[F] I hear sweethearts whisper their [Am] undying love
[F] But the noise on the key their [Am] voice cries
They [F] must have something so strong [Am] in the face of such change
That [F] they can promise and [Dm] promise [Am] all night
[F] Oh _ they're [Am] undying _ _ _

_ [G] Oh _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] what you wouldn't give
To be [Em] _
down on the [F] pier [G] once again
[C] Far away from the [Dm] pride of [G] this war weary [F] [G] heart
_ _ [C] Time up there in the [Dm] clouds
Must [Em] be _ hard to [F] endure [G] when your [Am] heart's _ _ unsheathed
_ Like [F] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] a knife in my gut no [Am] more you're taking me
I [F] feel I'm sentenced [Dm] without [Am] _ _ appeal
I [F] can't pretend it's all a dream what [Am] I'm seeing will disappear
[G] [F] But the end I can see is [Am] all too _ real
[F] _
Knowing you're [Am] taking me
