G+G 
E minor 7Em7 G+G
We returned to that five-room flat
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Am7Am7 D MajorD
Now it was empty and this the last time
G+G
There were blinking pictures
E minorEm G+G
Of how we'd sit and chat
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Some of them scattered
Am7Am7 D MajorD
Others shattered in my mind

G+G E minorEm G+G
In the winter, a-chatterin' cold
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G Am7Am7 D MajorD
While the building shook like ragweed in the wind

Stories from the heat pipes

But now they only leave me

With a half-enchanted grin

Was the only thing to do

G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
And I wonder if we kept to the fair warning
Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
'Cause I can see it in the flowers
Am7Am7 D MajorD
Dyin' on the windowsill

But am I going 'gainst my will
