        Am(9)                Am(9)
And she turns to me with her hand extended

    B5/A                 B5/A               Amsus2   Amsus2
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Amsus2 Amsus2 Amsus2 Amsus2 [instrumental] Solitude stands in the doorway I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [12 bars of instrumental again]

Amsus2                Amsus2        Amsus2/G      Amsus2/F
  And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"

Amsus2                Amsus2          Amsus2/G    Amsus2/F
  And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"

C#m7               C#m7              Bsus4     Amsus2
  And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear

C#m7            C#m7             Bsus4       Amsus2
  And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"

And I turn to the crowd as they're watching They're sitting all together in the dark and the warm And I wanted to be in there among them I see how their eyes are gathered into one And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [12 bars of instrumental again] And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight" And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart" And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear And I say, "I never thought of finding you here" Solitude stands in the doorway I'm struck once again by her black silhouette By her long cool stare and her silence I suddenly remember each time we've met And she turns to me with her hand extended Her palm is split with a flower with a flame [Fade out on repeated Am(9)/C & B5]
