I can't go home

I cannot sleep

I cannot give

I cannot keep

This heart of stone has left me here

With only rumors of your left
G                                  F#m     Bb
I guess to see you leaving was for the best

Bm
I dream too much
A
and spend my days
Bm                    A
Like a sailor lost at sea
G
And you were like a mermaid

in that Danish fairytale

I guess the best thing that I could do
      F#m  Bb
is to sail

Away from this sunken soldiers ball

Away, do you remember me at all?

I have no better words than "Thank you and goodbye"

Bm
At last I'm home
A
My horse will rest
Bm
This tattoed heart
A                         G
This trembling chest must be alone
               F#m
And carry this sorrow back to bed

I hope there was no innocent blood shed
