     E                    E/D 
It's hard to believe that this is the place 
C#m7                            B   A/B 
Where we were so happy all our lives 
       E                E/D 
Now so empty inside and feelin' no pain. 
C#m7                       B            A/B 
Waitin for a hammer and a big ball and chain.

They can tear it all down and build something new, 
     C#m7                         B   A/B 
Then only I'll remember what was here 
  E                  E/D 
Tomorrow comes easy, just another day gone 
    C#m7                        B      A/B 
How long will I have to keep returning?

Now I look back, think I've known all the time, 
          C#m7                    B   A/B 
I've been fightin' myself for so long 
        E                           E/D 
All the vows that we made, gone for old rags and lumber 
     C#m7                     B   A/B 
Disappear on a cart down the road
