[Verse 1]
G                  D              
Darling, won't you rest your weary 
 G
eyes?
C                           
There's no use in waiting for 
     G
sunrise
C
If the stars begin to dim
G               Em
If the earth ceases to spin
C                 A               
No matter where I am or where I've
 D   G D
 been

[Verse 2]
G                D                
A person needs a place to rest her 
 G
head
C                                  
A place to put her burdens down to 
G
rest
C
I think I'll join the working class
G              Em
I just want my work to last
Continues after the ad
                A               
Tell me now, is that too much to 
 D
ask?

[Verse 3]
G                         D      
Sometime's there ain't no right; 
               G
there ain't no wrong
C                                 
There ain't a new way to put it in
   G
 a song
C
I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Mom.
G                     Em
I think I've known it all along
A               G        D      
Sometimes there ain't no right; 
      A        D     A
there ain't no wrong

[Verse 4]
G                D               
A flower for the gaze you shared 
     G
with me
C                               G
A stone for all our shitty memories
C
A petal here, a petal there
G                Em
A petal for your lovely hair
A         C                Em   
A penance for the things I could
     D    C D
 not share
