Intro: Em 

Em           D          A         C 
What did the storm wash away? 
               G          B7               Am 
You're bailing out of the plans we already made. 
                   Em                D       A       C 
It won't bother me now, and you know I'll be okay 
                        G                    B7                Am 
You've got to lead your life, but you're not sure you know the way 
         Em              D                  A                  C 
When you want to walk in white, you want to sin but you're too shy 
       G                 B7              Am 
So the candle just keeps burning down on you 


Chorus 
          C               D          E 
Well the cards are on the table, I'm here tonight 
    C            D             E 
and I don't need anything from you 
C           D           E 
Down on the Bowery, The Changing Lights 
   C             D                E 
Oh I'll still be waiting here for you 

Em 

Em         D            A          C 
I saw that look on your face 
                  G                      B7             Am 
You don't need me now, and sometimes you wonder if it's all 
             Em                     D             A          C      
just another mistake, and why can't you just walk away 
                          G                   B7                    Am 
You've got to measure the cost, what have you gained, what have you lost? 
       Em           D                A                 C 
Well I often wonder why, you want to win but you won't fight. 
       G                 B7              Am 
So the candle just keeps burning down on you. 

Chorus x2 

(Humming) 
C                   D                E 
C                   D                E 
C                   D                E 

C                   D                E 
I'll, I'll still be waiting here for you 

End on E
