Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][G][C][F][Bb]
[G][Em][C][G][C][G][Em][G]
I [F]was

[Verse 1]
[C]
drowning out the [F]night with [G]the last of [C]the wine[Em][C]
And my story [F]began [C]to unwind
So I gathered all [F]the shot
of a [C]glass from the bar
And I left [F]from 17th Street for St. [C]Marks
[G][C][G][C][F]

[Verse 2]
Won't
you listen to me now?
I was [C]trying all [G]the time[F]
Maybe half the time I got [C]you right
[Em]But not to n[G]ight

[Verse 3]
Oh [G]I'll [C]alw[Bb]ays be
[C]lonely[Bb][C][G]
[C]And you'll never [F]hear the truth
[C]Yeah [G]the[C] truth is there's some dis[F]tance,
but [Bb]you're [C]listening
[G]And I k[C]eep talking my way
[G]back [F]int[Bb]o your heart

[Verse 4]
[G]Your [C]mam[G]a t[F]old you
I'd long gave up, baby but
[C]Your mama [G]lied[F]
Half the time you let [Bb]me slide
[C]But not[G] tonight

[Verse 5]
Oh [G]I'll [C]alw[F]ays be [Bb]lone[C]ly[G]
An[C]d you'll never [G]hear
[F]the [C]truth[G][C][G]
[C]Yea[F]h I'll always be [G]lonely
An[F]d you'll [C]never hea[F]r
[Bb]the truth
[C][G]

[Verse 6]
[C]
[G]In [C]the graveyards, in the har[F]bors,
in [G]the beer halls and the [C]parks[G][C]
I'll be wandering under
[F]unfamiliar [C]stars[G]
[C]But the spirits in my hea[F]rt don't
per[G]suade me any [C]more
Than [F]my [C]echoes off [F]the brick and
mortar wall[G]s[C][G][C]
And the truth is [F]there's some [G]distance,
[F]but you're lis[G]tening
And [C]the truth is [F]there's some distance,
but you're [G]listening

[Outro 1]
