F#m
Just a moment dear
C#m
I hear someone at the door
Bm
And the beating of a heart
E
That I hid beneath the floor
D C#
They've come for me love
F#m
Save yourself
C#m
I am far beyond repair
Bm
They will bury me alive
E
But I'm not inclined to care
D C#
I am too far gone now
F#m
Bm F#m
So dry your eyes and count to ten
C#m E
They'll have me on the pyre by then
Bm F#m
Forget the man I used to be
C#m E
You'll move a long more easily
F#m
A moment dear
C#m
I hear someone in the hall
Bm
And the plundering of promises
E
We hung up on the wall
D C#
They've come for us love
F#m C#m
Save yourself I am bitter to the bone
Bm
And I'm growing rather fond
E
Of the wandering alone
D C#
I am too far gone now
F#m
Bm F#m
So dry your eyes and count to ten
C# C#m E
They'll have me on the pyre by then
Bm F#m
Forget the man I used to be
C#m E
You'll move a long more easily
F#m C#m E
Now I must finish what I started
F#m C#m E
I'll write a symphony for the departed
F#m C#m E
I have no time for second chances
F#m C#m E
So I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances
G
So the scene begins
C#m
Your cries become the wind
D F#m
A desperate plea best left unheard
G
Then my contrived goodbye
C#m
A poet's pantomime
D E
A drunken jester's final words
Em E
F#m
Just a moment dear
C#m
I hear someone at the door
Bm E
And the beating of a heart that I hid beneath the floor
D C#
They've come for us love
F#m C#m E
Now I must finish what I started
F#m C#m E
I'll write a symphony for the departed
F#m C#m E
I have no time for second chances
F#m C#m E
So I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances
F#m C#m E
Now I must finish what I started
F#m C#m E
I'll write a symphony for the departed
F#m C#m E
I have no time for second chances
F#m C#m E
So I survive on bourbon, blood, and backward glances
Bm F#m
So dry your eyes and count to ten
C#m E
They’ll have me on the pyre by then
