I've been trying to climb this wall,
C       Am7           Am       
2 years, 3 months, and 5 days, 
F                    G
Honey, please don't let me fall

F             G     F           
Understand my dear, When you

I want you back again, Cause I

C         Am7            Am     
I see your picture on my table, 
F                              G
And your ghost is sleeping in my 
bed,
C         Am7           Am      
And your good-bye still rattles,
                          F
 and rattles, And rattles around 
like
Continues after the ad
                  G
thunder through my head

F                     G         
So I'll have one more cigarette 
F                         G
And hope that soon I will forget
     Am                    F      
When you walked in Cause I know 
            G
that I can't win,
F                   G            
It's not for me to choose, I'll
