[Verse] Fmaj7Em7 Dm[Am7] I've spent the days of my vanity

Fmaj7
I'm lost to heaven and I'm lost to earth

Em7             Dm                [Am7]
Didn't give you a minutes-not even moments

Fmaj7
All my life in a tower of foil

Em7   Dm     [Am7]
Shaded feelings: "I don't believe you!"

Fmaj7
When you were there before my eyes

Em7      Dm
No one planned it, took it for granted . . .

[Chorus 1]

G Dm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)
I count the hours since you slipped away

G Dm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)
I count the hours that I lie awake

G Dm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)
I count the minutes and the seconds too

G Dm                      [G]
All I stole and I took from you   -But

Fmaj7 (riff) Bonny don't live at home (repeat)

Em7                          Dm
Words don't hold you,

[Am7] Fmaj7 Broken soldiers

[Chorus 2]

G   Dm      [C]
All my silence and my strained respect

G   Dm      [C]
Missed chances and the same regrets

G   Dm      [C]
Kiss the thief and you save the rest

G       Dm            [C]
All my insights in retrospect-But

Fmaj7 (riff) Bonny don't live at home (repeat) [Chorus 1]

G Dm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)
I count the hours since you slipped away

G Dm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)
I count the hours that I lie awake

G Dm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)
I count the minutes and the seconds too

G Dm                      [G]
All I stole and I took from you   -But

Fmaj7 (riff) Bonny don't live at home (repeat)

Em7                          Dm
Words don't hold you,

[Am7] Fmaj7 Broken soldiers
