Chords

[Intro] | E | E | E | E | x2 [Verse 1]
E
 The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
E
 As her spirit is climbing

                               D
Through the hospital wall and away

E
 And I wanted to hold you

E
 As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
E                               D
 When your eyes were alive and awake

                                     E
Always in life we all must make this mistake
[Chorus]
        G       E
And so I go it alone

        G           E
And the pressure is great

       G        E
I hold on to my own

   E                    D
Oh please, oh don't go away
[Interlude] | E | E | E | E | x2 [Verse 2]
E
 I wanted to know you

E
 Before you started to fade

E
 But I gave everything to

E                        D
 A lie and a farce and a fake

                                     E
Always in life we all must make this mistake
[Chorus]
         G      E
And so I go it alone

        G           E
And the pressure is great

       G        E
I hold on to my own

   E                    D
Oh please, oh don't go away

            D
I'd like to see you when all of these angry days flow away
