A lonely man amidst these scenes, I wander aimless round these dreams    
 Em                                 G                                               D  
I prefer the humble ones, I prefer the humble ones now you have gone  
               A                                        Em  
You’ve gone 5000 miles. You’ll be gone at Christmas time  
              G           A                                   G         A           Bm         
So I’ll carry the cross, The cross into the lights blind my eyes  
                  Em             A                 D        D9   D   D9  D  
And I will beg that you still love me  
           

         D                                                               A  
A thousand miles for every year, Since you swept across this desert  
                Em                                     G                                             D                
You’re a prophet, you’re a plague, I felt the flowers grow despite myself  
                                              A  
Will I be the bastard I was then?  Will the isolation spread  
        Em                                        G             A  
Just like a cancer, Like a lie, I’ll carry the cross  

                              G        A           Bm                     Em            A               D  
The cross into the lights blind my eyes, And I will beg that you still love me  
             G        A            Bm                      Em           A                D  
See the light blinds my eyes,  And I will beg that you still love me

Go to sleep, I’ll dream of endlessness, Go to sleep, I’ll dream of children in the hills

When you come home you will find,  This naked spirit tumbling blind  
Em                                                           G                         A  
I’ll lay myself down at your mercy,  A faithless man who lies  

                G      A            Bm                     Em          A                 D  
Into the lights blind my eyes,  And I will beg that you still love me  
              G      A             Bm                    Em           A                 D      D9  
See the light blinds my eyes,  And I will beg that you still love me  
          D                                            D9 D
