C    C/B Am             F    G
Don't you know I've been here before?
        C       Am         F    G
I can't help myself, I'm an open door
C    C/B Am             F    G
See these rooms in their melancholy gloom
 C       Am         F    G
It's so dark in here in my palace of ruin

[Chorus]
F
On and off, I turn the lights
G
Even when it's dark at night, oh
C
Shadows flicker, then they vanish
    Am
I'm famished, I'm famished
F
Tenderly, I tend to me
G
As a mother really ought to be
C                                Am
But alas, I find no arms to hold mine

[Verse 2]
C    C/B Am             F    G
Don't you know that your scars are on show?
           C       Am                F    G
As they've always been when you're mad at me
C    C/B Am             F    G
Apologize two or three hundred times
 C       Am         F    G
It's just sound you make when you believe your lies

[Chorus]
F
On and off, I turn the lights
G
Even when it's dark at night, oh
C
Shadows flicker, then they vanish
    Am
I'm famished, I'm famished
F
Tenderly, I tend to me
E
As a mother really ought to be
C                   G            Am
But alas, I find no arms to hold mine

[Outro]
C    C/B   Am         F          G
I've been told not to let it take hold
C    C/B   Am         F          G
Resist the embrace of this darkened place
C    C/B   Am         F          G
But here I lie in this orange evening light
C    C/B   Am         F          A      Gsus4 G Gsus4
With the sun in my eyes as I wait for you

Wait for you

Wait for you

C Am F G C G Am F G C Am F G C G Am G Gsus4 G Gsus4
