Verse 1
=======

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


Gsus4 G  Gsus4 G

========

Gsus4 G         Esus   Em
Take  this it's your - s

   Asus4  Am            Dsus4  D/A    Bm
An anth  -em for a lost cau   -se now ashes bone and splinter

         Em                          C9          C    C9   C

Verse 2
=======
      Am                            Am/F#
Oh re-demption love and departure I think your work is done
G                          Em
Paris St. Petersburg don't need a tower of song
   Am                              Am/F#
Es-cape's not worth the capture so walk that lonesome road
   G                      Em
No joy or earthly rapture nothing to take the load


Gsus4   G  Gsus4  G
