Verse 1


       A minorAm                             Am/F#
It's a cold and lonely message at the end of a song
      G+G                               E minorEm
It in-vaded hearts and minds but they couldn't get along
       A minorAm                         Am/F#
It can ask you to remember it can ask you for a dance
      G+G                         E minorEm
So it seems that every song now is just one last chance

Verse 2

      A minorAm                            Am/F#
Oh re-demption love and departure I think your work is done
G+G                          E minorEm
Paris St. Petersburg don't need a tower of song
   A minorAm                              Am/F#
Es-cape's not worth the capture so walk that lonesome road
   G+G                      E minorEm
No joy or earthly rapture nothing to take the load
