Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l,[D][G][Asus4][D]
I've sung out one more [F#m]evening
Yes I'm [Bm]wrung out, [D]feeling [F#m]beat
And I [G]walk on out [A]the door once more
To an [Bm]empty [F#m]city s[Bm]treet
[F#m][Bm][F#m]

[Verse 2]
[Bm][F#m]
A [D]good guitar [F#m]will serve you well
When you're [Bm]living in [F#m]the lights
But it's [G]never going [A]to warm you
In [Bm]the middle [F#m]of the nig[Bm]ht
[F#m]And

[Verse 3]
[Bm]so I[F#m] come [Bm]and[F]
[C]go with her in [G]whis[D] pers[F#m]
[A]Eac[Em]h and every time[C]
she says she [F#m]dies[F]
When she is re[C]born again, [G]I kiss [D]her
[F#m]And th[A]e baby [F#m]never cri[Bm]es[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[D]

[Verse 4]
She works in the day[F#m]time
She leaves [Bm]her baby with [F#m]a friend
And [G]I sing e[Em]very e[A]vening
I only [Bm]see h[F#m]er now and the[Bm]n
[F#m][Bm][F#m][Bm][F#m]

[Verse 5]
[D]I come to her at midnig[F#m]ht
When 'bout [Bm]half the world's
[F#m]asleep
And she [G]puts me back to[A]gether
In [Bm]the hours be[F#m]fore I[Bm] leave
[F#m][Bm][F#m][Bm][F#m]

[Verse 6]
[F]So I come and go [C]with
her in [G]whis[D] pers[F#m]
[A]Eac[Em]h and every time[C]
she says she [F#m]dies[F]
When she is re[C]born again,
[G]I kiss [D]her[F#m][A]
And the [F#m]baby n[Bm]ever[Em] cries

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Her apartment's down on [F#m]Perry Street
And there's [Bm]a tree in her [F#m]back yard
And it [G]rubs the bedroom win[A]dow
When [Bm]the wind is [F#m]blowing [Bm]hard
[F#m][Bm][F#m][Bm][F#m]

[Verse 8]
[D]
Her old man had [F#m]left her
He just [Bm]took off for [F#m]the coast
And [G]I caught her [Em]on the rebo[A]und
When [Bm]I needed [F#m]her th[Bm]e most[F#m]
[Bm][F#m]

[Interlude 3]
[Bm][F#m][Bm][F#m][F]

[Verse 9]
So I come and [C]go with her
in [G]whisper[D]s[F#m][A]
[Em]And each and every time[C]
she says [F#m]she dies[F]
When she is re[C]born again,
[G]I kiss [D]her[F#m][A]
[D]And [F#m]the baby [Bm]never[Em] cries[Bm]

[Outro 1]
[Bm][A][F#m][Bm]
