[Verso 1]

G 
Words can stab as deep as night 
G 
And cut like a razored thorn 
G 
Bitter air and the?winds?of spite 
G 
Like the?cold of winter's scorn 
C 
Leaves may fall?on sleeping ground 
C                          G 
But the wind sweeps them away 
D                       C 
Like hurt lovers in the final round 
     G 
What once was is now decayed 


[Refrão]
 
           D            C                    G 
I can't go on, livin' alone now that you're gone

[Verso 2]

G 
A single strand of spider's weave 
G 
Just dancin' in the sun 
C 
Please don't turn around and leave 
G 
You are my only one 
C 
Compromise is made out of peace 
    G 
But history's made out of violence 
D                    C 
After the war of the worlds has ceased 
            G 
All that's left is the deafenin' silence 


[Refrão]
 
           D            C                    G 
I can't go on livin' alone now that you're gone 
             D                    C               G     N.C. 
You done me wrong, so here's your song, now sing along, baby

[Verso 3]
 
      C 
Well, I know you know that you're killin' me 
         G 
But it's worth it just to see you smile 
            C 
Tell 'em to carve my name in the barstool, baby 
    D 
You know I'm gonna be here a while 
  G 
A single strand of spider's weave 
     G 
Just dancin' in the sun 
C 
Please don't turn around and leave 
     G 
You are my only one
