Intro: | Bb| | A| | Bb| | A| Verso 1: Words can stab as deep as night And cut like a razored thorn Bitter air and the?winds?of spite Like the?cold of winter's scorn Leaves may fall?on sleeping ground But the wind sweeps them away Like hurt lovers in the final round What once was is now decayed I can't go on, livin' alone now that you're gone Post-Chorus | Bb| | A| | Bb| | A| Verso 2: A single strand of spider's weave Just dancin' in the sun Please don't turn around and leave You are my only one Compromise is made out of peace But history's made out of violence After the war of the worlds has ceased All that's left is the deafenin' silence I can't go on livin' alone now that you're gone N.C. You done me wrong, so here's your song, now sing along, baby Instrumental Bridge N.C. | Bb| Verso 3: Well, I know you know that you're killin' me But it's worth it just to see you smile Tell 'em to carve my name in the barstool, baby You know I'm gonna be here a while A single strand of spider's weave Just dancin' in the sun Please don't turn around and leave You are my only one I can't go on livin' alone now that you're gone You done me wrong, so here's your song, now sing along
