Verse 1:
     G                                  C
This world that I live in is empty and cold

This loneliness cuts me and tears at my soul
    G
I’m no child of destiny
            D
No fortune son

I’ve chased you so long
                G
I’m too weak to run

Verse 2: same as V.1
And here I return to a backstreet of thrill
Back to any warm shoulder till she’s got her fill
And then I treat shame like some old friend from home
Who I can lean on till the misery is gone

Chorus 1:
   G                               C
A new day is here, but nothing is new
     D                                     G |G|G|G|
But you’re still gone, still I tremble for you

Verse (same as 1 and 2):
I cry out at bedtime: “oh please not tonight”
Then I hear your footsteps and I turn on the light
Of course you’re never there,
No you never are
And I try to forget to that there’s always a bar

Chorus 2:
       G
Though I win that battle
                 C
And sometimes I do,
       D (tempo slows down)                 G (strum once and hold)
Still sleep doesn’t come, and I tremble for you
