[Intro]

Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2

[Verse]

Am       Asus2         Am    Asus2
Solitude stands by the window
    Am        Asus2     Am          Asus2
She turns her head as I walk in the room
      Am         Asus2           Am     Asus2
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Am              Asus2        Am        Asus2
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon


[Chorus]

Am7
And she turns to me with her hand extended
D5
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

[Break]

C   Am7  C  D

Am       Asus2         Am     Asus2
Solitude stands in the doorway
        Am          Asus2        Am    Asus2
And I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
       Am        Asus2         Am     Asus2
By her long cool stare and her silence
  Am       Asus2    Am              Asus2
I suddenly remember each time we've met


[Chorus]

Am7
And she turns to me with her hand extended
D5
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame


[Break]

C   Am7  C  D

[Post-Chorus]

Am7                              G             F
And she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
Am7                                G         F
And she says "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
C#m7                               B          A
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
C#m7                             B           A
And I say "I've never thought of finding you here"


[Verse]

Am            Asus2            Am      Asus2
I turn to the crowd as they're watching
        Am          Asus2           Am          Asus2
They're sitting all together in the dark in the warm
  Am       Asus2        Am        Asus2
I wanted to be in there among them
  Am           Asus2     Am            Asus2
I see how their eyes are gathered into one


[Chorus]

Am7
And she turns to me with her hand extended
D5
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame


[Post-Chorus]

Am7                              G             F
And she says "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
Am7                                G         F
And she says "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
C#m7                               B          A
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
C#m7                             B           A
And I say "I've never thought of finding you here"
