[Instrumental]
BB  G#m7G#m7  C# minorC#m  Amaj7Amaj7
BB  G#m7G#m7  A augmentedA   Amaj7Amaj7

[Verse 1]
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
When the wind blows down this hard,
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
Many a bond is broken.
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
See the water lie on the ground
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
From where the heavens opened.

[Verse 2]
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
Lord, how will you get through this night
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
With your dreams departed?
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
And who alone will comfort you?
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
Only the broken hearted.

[Instrumental]
BB  G#m7G#m7  C# minorC#m  Amaj7Amaj7
BB  G#m7G#m7  A augmentedA   Amaj7Amaj7

[Verse 3]
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
So you've gone beyond your means,
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
Every wound is open,
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
Your best laid plans are out of reach,
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
And all your fears unspoken.

[Verse 4]
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
Lord, how will you get through this night
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
With your dreams departed?
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
And who alone will comfort you?
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
Only the broken hearted.

[Instrumental]
BB  G#m7G#m7  C# minorC#m  Amaj7Amaj7
BB  G#m7G#m7  A augmentedA   Amaj7Amaj7

[Bridge]
F#F#       G# minorG#m
Sweet revenge is spoken then;
A augmentedA       C# minorC#m
In the twilight it is gone.
F#F#       BB B/A
To living lies with no escape,
G# minorG#m      A augmentedA
Lord, I would rather be alone.

[Instrumental]
BB  G#m7G#m7  C# minorC#m  Amaj7Amaj7
BB  G#m7G#m7  A augmentedA   Amaj7Amaj7

[Verse 5]
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
I press my fingers to the wood
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
To tell you of my dreaming,
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
To sing you songs from olden times,
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
To keep the love light gleaming.

[Verse 6]
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
'Cause there's a place where we can go,
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
Where we will not be parted.
BB   G#m7G#m7   C# minorC#m   Amaj7Amaj7
And who alone will enter there?
BB   G#m7G#m7   A augmentedA    Amaj7Amaj7
