Intro: Bm G A Bm G A 



         Bm 
I've got too much in front of me 
G          A            Bm 
  And not enough left behind 
         G 
I've got too much in front of me 
A                         Bm 
  I didn't leave enough behind 



      Bm 
I can hear the devil whisper 
G           A               Bm 
  Payin' no heed to what he says 
      G 
I can hear the devil whisper 
A                          Bm 
  Staking no weight to his claim 



        G 
And I'm all torn down 
A                     Bm 
  With these northern blues 
       G 
Got my soul in want of 
A                Bm 
Some post-mortem truth 
  G               A              Bm 
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon 
        G 
But I'm all torn down 
A                     Bm 
  With these northern blues 



  Bm 
I have no understanding 
G              A          Bm 
  For standing outside of time 
      G 
Three hundred thousand hours 
A                               Bm 
  Still I remain hungry for the light 



    Bm 
The world is disappearing 
G         A 
Little by little 
       Bm 
Day by day 
      G 
Three hundred thousand hours 
A                              Bm 
  Still the weather it has not changed 




        G 
And I'm all torn down 
A                     Bm 
  With these northern blues 
       G 
Got my soul in want of 
A                Bm 
Some post-mortem truth 
  G               A              Bm 
I keep rollin' on howling at the moon 
        G 
But I'm all torn down 
A                     Bm 
  With these northern blues
