Intro: D G D G D G D G
D G D G
Cloaked in black like the stars, so wrapped up in yourself you are
D G D G
The needle taste sweeter by far than the cold light of day
D G D G
And as you become enslaved to the puppy that you grief
D G D G
There is nothing I can do to save you from slipping away
Bm G
And I just wanted, just needed to say
Bm G D
I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away
[Following verse as above]
So when you just can't take anymore and the nappy comes too full of pain
You reach for the comfort of your white stallion again
And I just wanted, just needed to say
I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away
Just wasting away
Em A Em A
I've seen the fire die away, I've seen the sunset in your eyes
Em A G
I've seen the darkness coming down and I just needed
A
To say goodbye
[Following verse as first verse - Repeat D G sequence]
So you're dancing with the candy man, he's saving the last words for you
And as he leads you away by the hand there is nothing I can do
There is nothing I can do
Goodbye to you, goodbye to you
[End on a D]
