Bm                 A            G                       
And I don't have anything to share
Bm           E                      A   
That I won't throw away into the air


G             A
That song is sung out
G             A      
This bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

She took my last chance at happiness

When the phone doesn't ring

And I'm lost in imagining
Bm              A               G
Everything that kind of love is worth
Bm          E                A
As I tumble back down to the earth
G            A
That song is sung out

This bell is rung out

She was the light that I'd bless

God if she'd grant me  her indulgence and decline

I might as well wipe her from my memory

Fracture the spell as she becomes my enemy
Bm              E               A
Maybe I was washed out like a lip?print on his shirt

Since I lost the power to pretend
