[Intro: 12 measures of Amsus2]
LAmsus2 LAmsus2
Solitude stands by the window
LAmsus2 LAmsus2
She turns her head as I walk in the room
LAmsus2 LAmsus2
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
LAmsus2 LAmsus2
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
LAm(9) LAm(9)
And she turns to me with her hand extended
SI5/LA SI5/LA LAmsus2 LAmsus2
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
LAm(9)/DO LAm(9)/DO SI5 SI5 LAm(9)/DO LAm(9)/DO SI5 SI5
[instrumental; melody is cdeGABcd eGABcdeG ABcdeGAB etc.]
LAmsus2 LAmsus2 LAmsus2 LAmsus2
[instrumental]
Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]
LAmsus2 LAmsus2 LAmsus2/SOL LAmsus2/FA
And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
LAmsus2 LAmsus2 LAmsus2/SOL LAmsus2/FA
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
DO#m7 DO#m7 SIsus4 LAmsus2
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
DO#m7 DO#m7 SIsus4 LAmsus2
And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"
And I turn to the crowd as they're watching
They're sitting all together in the dark and the warm
And I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]
And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"
Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[Fade out on repeated Am(9)/C & B5]
