             A                        B
This place was once a home, but now you're gone.

                 Em                     Am       C      Cm
Gone like the sun, you took away, it was coming, so they say.

               A                      B
This boy and his heavy heart, were feeling small.

                 Em                     Am       C      Cm
Kicking around the leaves, it seems, we're so vacant, after all.

Chorus 1:

       C           A             A       Gmaj7     Em
There's nothing more to say, let me sleep these dreams away.

Me and the Belle, she knows me so well,

   A        Cm          A       Cm
She don't want my soul, she's not in control.

A       Cm        A        Cm         A        Cm        A
Oh, find me place, a discounted space, a hole in the ground,

  C       Cm        A
Nobody's favourite now.

A A Verse 2:

             A                        B
This night, this pretty light, with my best friends.

                Em                     Am       C      Cm
Keeping the hounding dogs away, from my window, night and day.

             A                        B
This place was once a home, but now it's still,

                Em                     Am       C      Cm
All of the stars are sleeping low, on my broken windowsill.

Chorus 2:

   C           A             A       Gmaj7     Em
Won't you let me be, just the old has-been's and me.

        A

A       Cm        A        Cm
Rolling in style, be gone for a while,

A       Cm        A          Cm
A million and one, has-beens in the sun.

A       Cm        A        Cm         A        Cm        A
Pretending to care, oh, going nowhere, floating around,

 C       Cm        A
Nobody's favourite now.
