Am The days grow short, the nights are gone A7sus4 Since you were here, I can't go on Am I cried for you, to no avail A7sus4 Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail
[Pre-Chorus]
D D7 But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before A7sus4 The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour D D7 Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away A7sus4 I leave a kiss behind
[Intro (Play Once)]
[Verse 2]
Am The rain that fell upon my stone A7sus4 Like tears you cry, I shed alone Am I walk the night, I cannot sleep A7sus4 The love you spend you cannot reap

D D7 But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before A7sus4 The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour D D7 Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
