[Verse]
G D Bm D Maybe you're right, I'm no good G D Bm D Got a heart made of glass and a head made of wood G D A Bm Let me make it clear, when I'm gone, I'm gone G Bm G D The night's just the night and there's no coming dawn
[Chorus]
Bm When shall I return? G D I confess I don't know Bm What's around the bend? G D What's left to unfold? Bm G D I could promise you the moon brought down with a lasso G Bm G D I need to stay, but alas I must go
D G D A
[Verse]
G D Bm D Back in the stark woods behind your old house G D Bm D I buried something that'll leave you no doubt G D A Bm Something to prove myself to you G Bm G D Half is a lie, but the good part's true
[Chorus]
Bm D When shall I return? G D I confess I don't know Bm What's around the bend? G D What's left to unfold? Bm G D I could promise you the moon brought down with a lasso G Bm G D I need to stay, but alas I must go G Bm G D Maybe you should move on, and I'll go it alone

[Bridge]
G D Out in the barren field where we first met
(Continue to hold D)
Full of decay from a life in the red
G D A D Oaths that I broke, the money I spent G D A D Couldn't make it work, couldn't even make rent G A Bm D All the people I forgot that I knew, that I met G D A D Maybe my life will repay the debt G D G D I need to stay, I need to stay G Bm G D I need to stay, but alas I must go G D G D Thought you wanted me to stay, but you need me to go G D G D I just want to say, now I finally know
