Db Ebm Fm
[Verse 1]
Db Ebm Fm
I was drowning out the night with the last of the wine
Db Ebm Fm
And my story began to unwind
Db Ebm Fm
So I gathered all the shot of a glass from the bar
Db Ebm Fm
And I left from 17th street for St. Marks
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb
Won’t you listen to me now?
Ab
I was trying all the time
Gb
Maybe half the time I got you right
Ab
But not tonight
[Chorus]
Db Ebm Fm
Oh I’ll always be lonely
Db Ebm Fm
And you’ll never hear the truth
[Verse 2]
Db Ebm Fm
‘Cause the truth is there’s some distance, but you’re listening
Db Ebm Fm
And I keep walking my way back into your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb
Your mama told you I’d long gave up baby but
Ab
Your mama lied
Gb
Half the time you let me slide
Ab
But not tonight
[Chorus]
Db Ebm Fm
Oh I’ll always be lonely
Db Ebm Fm
And you’ll never hear the truth
Db Ebm Fm
Yeah I’ll always be lonely
Db Ebm Fm
And you’ll never hear the truth
[Verse 3]
Db Ebm Fm
In the graveyards, in the harbors in the beer halls and the parks
Db Ebm Fm
I’ll be wandering under unfamiliar stars
Db Ebm Fm
But the spirits in my heart don’t persuade me anymore
Db Ebm Fm
Than my echoes off the brick and mortar walls
[Outro]
Db Fm Ebm
And truth there’s some distance, but you’re listening
Db Fm Ebm
And the truth is there’s some distance, but you’re listening
