[Intro]
A Dsus2 A E (x2)
[Verse 1]
A Dsus2 A
The last time I saw William, he was as good as gone
A Dsus2 A
He'd packed up all his poetry and his hurtin' songs
E
Well they say that he died, but the papers lied
Dsus2 D
About our long lost favourite song
A D A
And the last time I saw William, he was all undone
[Verse 2]
A Dsus2 A
He'd lost his bag of thunder, and his brave disguise
A Dsus2 A
He was trying to find some kind of peace of mind with brand new eyes
E D
But it all came back in shades of black, like a past that's just begun
A Bm D
And the last time I saw William, he was a man on the run
He said
[Chorus]
A D A Dsus2
It's better to fly than to hold on to shaky ground
A E D D C#m B
It's better to let the feelings die, when they're holding you down
A Dsus2 F#m G Dsus2
I saw a long line of loneliness in the corner of his eye
Dsus2 Asus4 A Dsus2 A E
But I never did see William cry
[Verse 3]
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Now the years run down the boulevard, and the marquee is long gone
A Dsus2 A
There's a troubadour in an empty bar, playin' hurtin' songs
E Dsus2
All the gold and praise from the glory days cannot save our souls tonight
A Bm
And the last time that I saw William
D Dsus2
He was walking away, walking away from the light
[Chorus]
A D A Dsus2
It's better to fly than to hold on to shaky ground
A E D D C#m B
It's better to let the feelings die, when they're holding you down
A Dsus2 F#m G Dsus2
I saw a long line of loneliness in the corner of his eye
Dsus2 E Dsus2 E Asus4 A
But I never did see William cry
