| A

[Verse 1]
A
I am weak and I am selfish
D             E           A
You are but a guest in my heart
D           E
Welcome for now
A        E        D
But soon must depart
D
You’re a Catherine Wheel
E             A
Spinning its last

A
You’d speed past the hedgerows
D               E       A
I’d ask if it’s ok if I smoke
D               E
You’d say it doesn’t bother you
A            E       D
And you’d smile as I spoke
D  
You’re a little child
E            A
Losing his hope

[Chorus]
            D       E                A
And in the trappings of the silent snow
          D
That fell over night
       E          F#m
And won’t let me go
                   D
Oh I know that the shame is mine
         Bm       E      A
And the blame is my own to bear

[Verse 2]
A
Well I don’t think and I don’t feel
  D           E               A
A cold chill doesn’t grip me yet
    D            E
My chest is half empty
   A      E         D
My mind a blank cassette
D              E              A
Tomorrow seems a dark distant threat

A
And if I knew what had pushed you
   D           E           A
So far from my heart or my mind
     D                 E
Well would it give you comfort
   A        E        D
Or strength of some kind
D
And would it give you peace
   E           A
As I leave you behind

[Chorus] 
            D       E                A
And in the trappings of the silent snow
          D
That fell over night
       E          F#m
And won’t let me go
                   D
Oh I know that the shame is mine
         Bm       E      A
And the blame is my own to bear

[Bridge]
A
Oh I will never belong
D             A
Belong to anyone
A
Oh I will never belong
D             A
Belong to anyone
D             A
Belong to anyone
D             A
Belong to anyone

[Chorus]
            D       E                A
And in the trappings of the silent snow
          D
That fell over night
       E          F#m
And won’t let me go
                   D
Oh I know that the shame is mine
         Bm       E      A
And the blame is my own to bear
