Intro: Am-Dm-F-Em
Am Dm
It’s pointless to think of turning back now
F Em
There’s no way to save what is gone
m
There’s no need to lie
Dm
No need to cry
F Em Am
Dm-F-Em
And no way to stay safe and warm
Am Dm
The porch light was left on till morning
F Em
Each night tears always followed the dawn
Am
There’s no compromising
Dm
It’s not so surprising
F Em Am
Dm-F-Em
We lost what was safe and warm
C Am C
Although I cried in my sleep
C Am C
Somehow I felt so relieved
F G
To be free of pain
C Am C
Think how excited we’ll be
Am
C F G
How delight to see and breathe new life
Am
Concrete dividers
Dm
Block the outsiders
F
Em
Whose words we interpret as harm
Am
They’re weapons we used
Dm
And often abused
F
To destroy what was
Em Am Dm-F-Em
Safe and warm
Am
Dm
Bittersweet memories of what we called love
F Em
Fly through my head in a swarm
Am Dm
I look back clench-fisted at how it got twisted
F Em Am
So far away from safe and warm
