[Gm] [F] [G] [D] [G]
There's a path that is warred [C] In the carpet on [G] the floor
By the window where I watch and wait [D] for you
I'm [G] a prisoner in [C] a cell that once [G] was home
And there's no one to talk [D] to [G] but the blues
Oh, [C] the carpet on the floor [G] It's tattered and torn
And tears I've cried enough to flood [D] the sea
Things I [G] loved most are tossed [C] about like a grain [G] of sand
And lost just like the love you [D] had for [G] me
Well, [D] [G] [C]
[G] I'm two feet above the wall Till [C] I grow too [G] weak to talk
Till my eyes grow dim and I no [D] longer see
I'll [G] still walk a long, long way [C] for you to [G] come home
Till the last breath of [D] life has gone [G] from me
Oh, [C] the carpet on the floor [G] It's ragged and worn
And tears I've cried enough to [D] flood the sea
Things [G] I loved most are [C] tossed about like a [G] grain of sand
And lost just like the [D] love you [G] had for me
[N]
