[Verse 1]
Am                        F           Am
I'm blinded, now I see that I

Am                                            F     Am
Could not hold you. My orange tree lived

Am                                   F            Am
In the darkened room for three of us to 

Am            F        Am
Share.

Am                     F     Am
Maybe you were free before my 

Am                                   F      Am
Blackened wing covered you.

Am                                  F          Am
I took the sing from your song.

Am                G                       Am
I made a bed where you don't belong.
[Chorus]
F       C           Am                   G
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,

F       C             Am             G
Black sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.

F       C                 Am                    G
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,

F       C               Am              F                     G
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love.

F                                                 Am
And now I'm going places on my own.
[Verse 2]
Am                  F           Am
Blinded, now I see that death moves

Am                                     F    Am
Amongst us and with such ease the rafters

Am                                     F         Am
Surround us. These silent beasts are hard 

Am             F        Am
To bear.

Am                        F       Am
Lonely, oh, no, not me,

Am                                       F       Am
I have a grave to dig. Fast moving feet

Am                                               F        Am
You gave me light where it once was gone.

Am                G
I made a bed where you don't belong.
[Chorus]
F       C           Am                   G
Poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,

F       C             Am             G
Black sea, I failed to be the light you found in love.

F       C                 Am                    G
Oh, poor me, she fell beneath the wheels to help me up,

F       C               Am              F                     G
Black sea, the monster killed the melody you love.

F                                                 Am
And now I'm going places on my own.
