D                   G
Elbows on the window sill
D                             A
My head against the pane
F#                            G
You've seen so many grow and die
D                                          A
But you forgot most of their names

So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
And I hope that it never comes down
Unless you're coming with it
It's better with you around 

I could drink myself to death tonight
Or I could stand and give a toast
To those who made it out alive
It's you I'll miss the most

But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
I've got a fifty dollar bill
But somewhere in her weak heart
She knows I never will

      F#        G          D
Oh love, it's hard to hide it
        F#         G           D
True love, it's hard to find it
          F#       G            D
Though I was once beside it
       F#      G           D    
I've fallen far behind it

D                           G
from a tiny room up on Smith Hill
D                 A
It's easy to disappear
F#                      G
It's easier to run off hiding
D                          A
Then say "I don't want you here"
D                        G
I can't stand to face the facts
D                        A
It'd only leave you hurt
F#                             G
I don't care much for what you have to say
D                                A
But I'd like to know what you heard

Oh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to fid it
Though I once was beside it
I've fallen far behind it

G                     D    D7
It's a long way free
G                           D
You can't tread on me
               C                      G                   
And in the morning when you're crying
A
You'll see

Outro:
D       G       D       A     F#    G     D  A
