Carrie Newcomer - The ten o clock line

^AmGone with the grace of a ^Cblack-winged crow ^D With ^Amall the tact of an ^Cexit poll ^D I ^Fbanked the curve of the ^Glast back road While you ^Cwashed your ^G/Bhands in a ^Dsilver bowl I ^Fdidn't want to know That's the way it goes ^{G Am}

Pretty words traced ^Cin the dirt ^D A ^Amwhisper without ^Cweight or worth ^{D F}Nonsense symbols written ^Gon the wall ^CRead by the ^G/Blight of a ^Dmirror ball A ^Ffinal flat-line scrawl And that was all ^G

There's a ^Chole in the world I've seen it ^G/Bcoming for some time This is ^Amhow it always ends Up on the ^DTen O' Clock Line ^F

There's a ^Chole in the world Take me ^G/Bonly a space For ^Amsomething that's been waiting Un^Dtil I turned my ^Fface Until I turned my ^E7face

The ^Amleaves recount with a ^Crasping sound ^D A ^Amshadow cast on the ^Cautumn ground ^D It's a ^Flovely wish, it's a ^Gtender sight A ^Cpromise ^G/Bmade on ^Dshifting light ^FBad news from the start And still I gave my ^Gheart

There's a ^Chole in the world I've seen it ^G/Bcoming for some time This is ^Amhow it always ends Up on the ^DTen O' Clock Line ^F

There's a ^Chole in the world Take me ^G/Bonly a space For ^Amsomething that's been waiting Un^Dtil I turned my ^Fface Until I turned my ^E7face

I ^Amalways thought I would ^Cstart again ^D But ^AmI was so much ^Cyounger then ^D Per^Fhaps no more of ^Gjust the same But a ^Cdeeper ^G/Bsong with a ^Ddifferent name The ^Flast one had its time Up on the Ten O' Clock ^GLine

There's a ^Chole in the world I've seen it ^G/Bcoming for some time This is ^Amhow it always ends Up on the ^DTen O' Clock Line ^F
