  Intro:   E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm   C majorC


 E minorEm
 Oh my god, I cry in fear
   C majorC
 Afraid you have forgot me here
   D MajorD
 Afraid you have forgotten one
    C majorC       E minorEm      C majorC
 Your quiet, dull and faithful son

  E minorEm
 I went to work, I worked all day
     C majorC
 When I wanted to run, I stayed
       D MajorD
 I kept the promises I made
       C majorC     E minorEm
 I kept the promises I made

 E minorEm
 Little children came and grew
 C majorC
 Moved away and never knew
 D MajorD
 Who I was or who I am
       C majorC       E minorEm
 Well, they never knew this lonely man

      C majorC       G+G
 And those mornings came stiff with rain
       D MajorD        C majorC
 I thought the sun would never shine again
     C majorC          G+G
 With the sleeves of my old raincoat
          D MajorD       C majorC
 Stained with the salt of my own tears

    C majorC      G+G
 And I never would tell you then
   D MajorD      C majorC
 So I never will tell you now
      C majorC         G+G
 All the things that break an old man down
   D MajorD        C majorC
 The real truth is, I don't know how

 E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm   C majorC


 E minorEm
 Oh my god, I cry in fear
   C majorC
 Afraid you have forgot me here
   D MajorD
 Afraid you have forgotten one
    C majorC
 Your quiet, dull and faithful son

     D MajorD
 Who's seen the loneliest of days
    C majorC
 And fought the dirtiest of ways
      D MajorD
 With the man inside who would have run away
      C majorC     E minorEm
 From the promises I made


 E minorEm   C majorC   E minorEm   C majorC  D MajorD  E minorEm
