verse 1 

C               F 
Like a deserted town in winter 
    Bb                 C 
The sun has gone and I linger on 
    C                      F 
The coloured lights on the pier 
          Bb                   C 
Have disappeared and the radio plays a sad song 
                    F 
Like a ship lost at sea I'm drowning 
Bb                  C 
As the world closes in 
                       F 
Strength where are you now 
                Bb            C 
Are you with me on this precipice 


G                      C    C                         
   You can stay if you want to 
    F             C     C 
But I must drift away 
G                      C    C 
   You can do what you want to 
    F                    Bb         Bb 
I'm leaving the ghosts behind 


verse 2 

C5               F5 
   Frozen like a memory 
  Bb5               C5 
1 close my eyes and then it's gone 
                    F5 
As night turns into day 
             Bb5                 C5 
The clock is waiting to have its say 
                 F5 
In a minute it's years 
        Bb             C5 
And the end is closing in 
                       F5 
Strength where are you now 
                Bb5           C5 
Are you with me on this precipice
