Amsus2Solitude stands by the Amsus2window Amsus2She turns her head as I Amsus2walk in the room I can Amsus2see by her eyes she's been Amsus2waiting Amsus2Standing in the Amsus2slant of the late afternoon And she Am(9)turns to me with her Am(9)hand extended Her B5/Apalm is split with a B5/Aflower with a flameAmsus2 Amsus2
Am(9)/C[instrumen[Am(9)/C]tal; melodB5y is cdeGB5ABcd eGABAm(9)/CcdeG ABcdeAm(9)/CGAB etc.] B5 B5 Amsus2[instrumen[Amsus2]tal] Amsus2 Amsus2
Solitude stands in the doorway I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [12 bars of instrumental again]
Amsus2 And she says, "I've Amsus2come to set a Amsus2/Gtwisted thing Amsus2/Fstraight" Amsus2 And she says, "I've Amsus2come to lighten Amsus2/Gthis dark heAmsus2/Fart" C#m7 And she takes my C#m7wrist, I feel her Bsus4imprint ofAmsus2 fear C#m7 And I say, "I C#m7never thought of Bsus4finding you Amsus2here"
And I turn to the crowd as they're watching They're sitting all together in the dark and the warm And I wanted to be in there among them I see how their eyes are gathered into one And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [12 bars of instrumental again] And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight" And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart" And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear And I say, "I never thought of finding you here" Solitude stands in the doorway I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [Fade out on repeated Am(9)/C & B5]
