Ebm        Db        B     Db 
There are so many places for dying alone,  
       Ebm        Db          B     Db 
Like a car or outside in the woods.  
Ebm      Db          B         Db 
Under a staircase or in your apartment,  
Ebm          Db              B     Db 
Doesn't that homebrew taste good?  


           B        Db 
Won't you stay with me  

In the dark? 
B          Db 
 Stay with me,  
                Ebm   Db   B   Db 
 Don't ever stop.  


          Ebm       Db         B             Db  
There are so many people you don't need to bother  
Ebm           Db     B     Db 
When you are dying alone.  
 Ebm            Db        B          Db 
Loved ones and enemies, passing acquaintances,  
  Ebm          Db             B       Db 
strangers whom you've never known.  

           B        Db 
Won't you stay with me  

In the dark? 
B          Db 
 Stay with me,  
                 
 Don't ever stop.  


B                            Db 
This is the prayer of those dying alone,  
          B                    Db 
The most terrible fate that I know.  
  B                       Db 
Grasping for hands that abandoned you  
              B    Db            Ebm 
Just as your body abandons your soul.  
  
Db    B    Db    Ebm 
Your soul dies alone.  
Db    B    Db       Ebm  Db   B    Db 
Your soul dies alone.  


   Ebm           Db 
My son, there is one  
     B           Db 
Who never could leave me  
    Ebm         Db           B     Db 
He goes by the name Father Time.  
         Ebm          Db 
He's the reason for restlessness,  
 B         Db 
Dreams unfulfilled,  
        Ebm        Db            B    Db 
And the bags under each wrinkled eye.  


         B        Db 
I can't stay with you  

In the dark.  
 B        Db 
Stay with you,  

I must depart.  


B                      Db 
One bit of freedom to dying alone  
          B           Db          Ebm 
It's the fate that I know that I own.
