Hello my love, I must go, I must go away,

E                                                     A E
I wish I could tell you that everything will be okay.

E                                    A           E    A E
I'm running on empty, I got nowhere left I can stay,

E
that bloody light shines in the distance, I can't look away.

I wasn't born to lose, but sometimes it just goes that way,

       E                   B                  E    A E
I get back on the backbeat, keep digging my grave.

     E                              A         E     A E
now all I can promise is I cannot promise a thing.

      A                                    B       E  A E
Your tears were in vain on the day I was driving away,

              E                                 A          E   A E
'cause that bloody light shine in the distance pulled me away.

               A                E                 B
if I had to choose, I wouldnt know what to do anyway.

Feed them coals under my broken feet.
