INTRO : Am Am9
( Am Am9 )
Solitude stands by the window
She turns her head as I walk in the room
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
And she turns to me with her hand extended
F#m4/7 Am9/E C7+ Bm7 C7+ D Am A9
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
Bm7 C7+ D Am A9
( Am Am9 )
Solitude stands in the doorway
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
F#m4/7 Am9/E C7+ Bm7 C7+ D
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
( Am Am9 ) G F
And she says ";I've come to set a twisted thing straight";
A9 G F
And she says ";I've come to lighten this dark heart";
C#m B A9
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
C#m B A9
And I say ";I've never thought of finding you here";
( Am9 )
I turn to the crowd as they're watching e- chords.com
They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm
I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And then she turns to me with her hand extended
F#m4/7 Am9/E C7+ Bm7 C7+ D
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
(Am Am9 ) G F
And she says ";I've come to set a twisted thing straight";
Am9 G F
And she says";l've come to lighten this dark heart";
C#m B A9
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
C#m B A9
And I say ";I've never thought of finding you here";
Am9
Solitude stands in the doorway
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
F#m4/7 Am9/E
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
