VERSE 1

Please mother mercy take me from this place

And the long winded curses I keep hearing in my head

Words never listen and teachers never learn

Now I'm warm from the candle but I feel to cold to burn

PRE-CHORUS 1

He came from an island and he died from the street

He hurt so bad like a soul breaking but he never said nothing to me

(N.C.) G D C7

Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven

(N.C.) G D C7

Say hello to heaven, heaven, heaven

VERSE 2

New like a baby, lost like a prayer

The sky was your playground but the cold ground was your bed

Poor stargazer she's got no tears in her eyes

Smooth like a whisper she knows that love heals all wounds with time

PRE-CHORUS 2 (play tab/chrds of pre-chorus1)

Now it seems like too much love is never enough

You better seek out another road 'cause this one has ended abrupt

..oh..

GUITAR SOLO (maybe a tab later)

VERSE 3

I never wanted to write these words down for you

With these pages of phrases of things we'll never do

So I blow out the candle and I put you to bed

Since you can't say to me how the dogs broke your bone

There's just one thing left to be said ..yeah..

RIFF 3x

(play pre-chorus tab, followed by a raked Em7 chord)
