Let meF telCl you about this torch I carry -
Am7- It?sBb not much of a career,
GmAnd iBb7t won?t make my fortune,
GmI feaBbr.
FBut Cit stays alight and won?t be buried;
Am7It?s bBbrighter year by year,
GmAnd sBb7omeday it will surely
GmDisapBbpear.
FWhen it does I?ll know I?ve laid to rest
CThe ghost of your unhappiness
FThat creeps around from room to room,
Am7A widoBbw oGmn a honeymoon,
Bb7A shadoFw ConF a harvest moon.
FSo pCut away this torch you carry,
Am7For itBb?s doing you no good,
GmAnd sBb7urely you know by now,
GmThat Bbyou should;
FAnd Ccome the day you die or marry,
Am7Will yBbou be understood
GmWhen Bb7you say that you wanted
GmBut nBbever could
FTurn your back and lay to rest
CThe ghost of your unhappiness
FThat flits around from room to room,
Am7A widoBbw oGmn a honeymoon,
Bb7A shadFowC oFn a harvest moon.
FI write these words to make them true,
C?I?ve drowned my torch and so should
FyoCu?.
GmI write these words to make them true,
Bb7?I?ve drowned my torch and so should
FyoDm7u?.
GmI write these words to make them true,
Bb7?I?ve drowned my torch and so should
Fyou?.
