Mother, sister comfort me 
         G       D 
Feel so wet and cold 
    A 
And downtown's lights look like a fire 
         D         G           D 
As I'm headed out in the snow 

D 
You know I've gone to live one thousand lives 
And to die one thousand deaths 
A 
But lately baby, got me scared 
           G             D 
Ain't got too much left 

              G   D 
I watch the tide flying 
        G    D 
Like a sparrow 
              G       D 
I Watch the lights dying 
          A 
Off like dominoes 
   D 
Uh-hoh 

D 
And the church bells were ringing 
G                          D 
And the church bells they cried 
           A 
And the church bells sang inside my heart 
     G                D 
The night before she died 

D 
And Jesus came to me 
          G            D 
He put a song into my ears 
         A 
He said let it fall right out your mouth 
         G                    D 
For the whole wide world to hear 
            G   D             G       D 
And so I opened wide and out came a tide 
       G        D            A 
And I let them know what to follow 
        G            D                G      D 
And I cried Mother, Sister won't you comfort me 
 A 
Downtown's locked up for the night 
    G               D G D A D G D 
And I don't have a key 

D 
Mother, sister comfort me 
G               D 
Feel so wet and cold 
      A 
And downtown's lights look like a fire 
        G                      D 
As I'm headed out towards the show 

D 
You know I've gone to live one thousand lives 
        G                  D 
And to die one thousand deaths 
      A 
But lately baby, got me scared 
  G                  D 
Ain't got too much left 

        A 
But the ones that I had spent with you 
          G                D 
Were the best that I ever had
