[Verse 1]
G Well, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play C G And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on D C G I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
[Verse 2]
G I said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?", Hank Williams hasn't answered yet C G But I hear him coughing all night long D C G A hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
[Verse 3]
G I was born like this, I had no choice, I was born with the gift of a golden voice C G And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond D C G They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
[Verse 4]
G So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll, I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all C G I'm standing by the window where the light is strong D C G They don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
[Verse 5]
G Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure: the rich have got their channels C G In the bedrooms of the poor, and there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong D C G You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song
[Bridge]
Em D Em D I see you standing on the other side, I don't know how the river got so wide C G I loved you, baby, way back when Em D Em D And all the bridges are burning that we might've crossed, but I feel so close to everything that we lost C D We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
[Verse 6]
G I bid you farewell, don't know when I'll be back, they're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track C G But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone D C G I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
[Verse 7]
G Yeah, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play C G And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on D C G I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
