Lit the candles all around your shrine 
           G 
I told you stories 
     C                G 
Entertained you for a while

Gave you tears, I gave you smiles 
         F#m        G 
Gave you secrets of mine 
             C                                     G

I ran all the rubber off the soles of my shoes 
                     G                 C        F#m 
I walked through the dark night of the soul for you 
            G          C              G (walk) 
And I found one little light in that darkness 
                 G   F#m           G 
But I gave it to you, I gave it to you 
                C                                  G 
And how many times must I lay my heart out on your railway

Maybe I'm better - better off without you 
           G              C          F#m 
Maybe you only would have torn me in two 
          G               C                   G           F#m 
Maybe you spared me from something worse than loneliness 
            G   F#m       G 
I'll never know, I'll never know
