C               F            G               C
    Ain't it hard when you wake up in the morning,
             F                  G               C
    and you find out that those other days are gone?
    F                G           C
    All you have is memories of happiness
     D         G    F    Em
    lingerin' o............on.

              F            G                C
    All your dreams and your lovers won't protect you,
             F               G               C
    they're only passing through you in the end.
             F                    G                  C
    They'll leave you stripped of all that they can get to,
         D                          G     F  Em
    and wait for you to come back aga.......…...in.

C           F      G          C
    Yet still a light is shining
               F       G        C
    from that lamp on down the hall,
F              G       C
    maybe the star of Bethlehem
    D                 G    F   Em      C
   wasn't a star at a..........…....ll.
