Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 [Verse]
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Solitude stands by the window
Am Asus2 Am She turns her head as I walk in
Asus2 the room
Am Asus2 I can see by her eyes she's been
Am Asus2 waiting
Am Asus2 Am Standing in the slant of the
Asus2 late afternoon [Chorus]
Am7 And she turns to me with her hand extended
D5 Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [Break]
C Am7 C D
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Solitude stands in the doorway
Am Asus2 And I'm struck once again by her
Am Asus2 black silhouette
Am Asus2 By her long cool stare and her
Am Asus2 silence
Am Asus2 Am I suddenly remember each time
Asus2 we've met

[Chorus]
Am7 And she turns to me with her hand extended
D5 Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [Break]
C Am7 C D [Post-Chorus]
Am7 And she says "I've come to set a
G F twisted thing straight"
Am7 And she says "I've come to lighten
G F this dark heart"
C#m7 And she takes my wrist, I feel her
B A imprint of fear
C#m7 And I say "I've never thought of
B A finding you here" [Verse]
Am Asus2 I turn to the crowd as they're
Am Asus2 watching
Am Asus2 They're sitting all together in
Am Asus2 the dark in the warm
Am Asus2 Am I wanted to be in there among them
Asus2
Am Asus2 Am I see how their eyes are gathered
Asus2 into one [Chorus]
Am7 And she turns to me with her hand extended
D5 Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [Post-Chorus]
Am7 And she says "I've come to set a
G F twisted thing straight"
Am7 And she says "I've come to lighten
G F this dark heart"
C#m7 And she takes my wrist, I feel her
B A imprint of fear
C#m7 And I say "I've never thought of
B A finding you here" [Verse]
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Solitude stands in the doorway
Am Asus2 And I'm struck once again by her
Am Asus2 black silhouette
Am Asus2 By her long cool stare and her
Am Asus2 silence
Am Asus2 Am I suddenly remember each time
Asus2 we've met [Chorus]
Am7 And she turns to me with her hand extended
D5 Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
