F#m
Well the old woman finally caught me
Bm
Sneakin' 'round her cave
F#m
And her smile just like the grave
Bm
I said I'd better go
F#m
And sweetly whispered no
F#m
It's cold and dark and lonely here
Bm
As soon enough you'll see
F#m
I've been cravin' company
Bm
I left some friends at home
F#m
Down here we're all alone
F#m
Well what about my mother
Bm
I can't just leave her there to mourn?
F#m
Just forget you were ever born
Bm
You know he worked so hard for me
F#m
Just send him some misery
F#m
I'll miss, I said, a girl I know
Bm
I can't just leave there to pine
F#m
I'm sure she'll do just fine
Bm
She said, he's just like you
F#m
He'll end up down here too
F#m
And her pale green eyes began to glow
Bm
And she placed her hand on mine
F#m
You'll get used to me in time
Bm
I spun myself around
F#m
But the walls came tumbling down
F#m
Now her eyes were the only light
Bm
My fevered brain could see
F#m
And fell down to my knees
Bm
I beseeched all the Gods of men
F#m
And it's silence once again
F#m
Then I whispered deep within
Bm
Embraced the God of Love
F#m
I saw light fall from above
F#m
I hurled myself into the wall
Bm
I ripped and clawed my way
F#m
Back to the light of day
Bm
With the sky upon my face
F#m
As I slid back into place
F#m
Now I'm back among the ones I love
Bm
And I'm loved by them in turn
