Intro: EmCEmCEm
Oh my god, I cry in fear
C
Afraid you have forgot me here
D
Afraid you have forgotten one
CEmC
Your quiet, dull and faithful son
Em
I went to work, I worked all day
C
When I wanted to run, I stayed
D
I kept the promises I made
CEm
I kept the promises I made
Em
Little children came and grew
C
Moved away and never knew
D
Who I was or who I am
CEm
Well, they never knew this lonely man
CG
And those mornings came stiff with rain
DC
I thought the sun would never shine again
CG
With the sleeves of my old raincoat
DC
Stained with the salt of my own tears
CG
And I never would tell you then
DC
So I never will tell you now
CG
All the things that break an old man down
DC
The real truth is, I don't know how
EmCEmCEmCEmCEm
Oh my god, I cry in fear
C
Afraid you have forgot me here
D
Afraid you have forgotten one
C
Your quiet, dull and faithful son
D
Who's seen the loneliest of days
C
And fought the dirtiest of ways
D
With the man inside who would have run away
CEm
From the promises I made
