Alas

G D Bm D G D Bm

[Verse]
G            D      Bm     D
Maybe you're right, I'm no good
      G             D           Bm           D
Got a heart made of glass and a head made of wood
    G          D               A         Bm
Let me make it clear, when I'm gone, I'm gone
    G                Bm                G          D
The night's just the night and there's no coming dawn

[Chorus]
     Bm
When shall I return?
     G            D
I confess I don't know
Bm
What's around the bend?
       G         D
What's left to unfold?
        Bm                           G               D
I could promise you the moon brought down with a lasso
G         Bm          G          D
I need to stay, but alas I must go
D  G  D  A

[Verse]
G           D             Bm            D
Back in the stark woods behind your old house
  G            D           Bm           D
I buried something that'll leave you no doubt
G            D     A         Bm
Something to prove myself to you
G         Bm           G          D
Half is a lie, but the good part's true

[Chorus]
     Bm        D
When shall I return?
     G            D
I confess I don't know
Bm
What's around the bend?
       G         D
What's left to unfold?
        Bm                           G               D
I could promise you the moon brought down with a lasso
G         Bm          G          D
I need to stay, but alas I must go
      G               Bm           G      D
Maybe you should move on, and I'll go it alone

[Bridge]
G          D
Out in the barren field where we first met
(Continue to hold D)
Full of decay from a life in the red
G            D          A       D
Oaths that I broke, the money I spent
G                D              A         D
Couldn't make it work, couldn't even make rent
        G        A             Bm           D
All the people I forgot that I knew, that I met
G        D         A         D
Maybe my life will repay the debt

  G       D     G         D
I need to stay, I need to stay
  G       Bm         G          D
I need to stay, but alas I must go
            G            D             G          D
Thought you wanted me to stay, but you need me to go
  G            D        G         D
I just want to say, now I finally know
