Lyrics

Key: C Major
Standard tuning

INTRO
D7sus4 | D7sus4 | D7sus4 | D7sus4
D7sus2 | D7sus2 | D7sus2 | D7sus2
Cmaj7  | Cmaj7  | Cmaj7  | Cmaj7
(hum)
Cmaj7  | Cmaj7  | Cmaj7  | Cmaj7
                          What am I doing

VERSE 1
D7sus4 here?
D7sus2                    Do I be-
Cmaj7  long?
Cmaj7                     The lights are

VERSE 2
D7sus4 blinding
D7sus2                    Should I go
Cmaj7  on?
Cmaj7                     I don't

VERSE 3
D7sus4 be- lieve
D7sus2                    I can't
Cmaj7  believe
Cmaj7                     Yet here you

CHORUS
Asus2  are (sustain)
       So many years have passed
       Even now my hairs rise
       I don't believe in evil
       But I cannot deny

VERSE 4
Cmaj7                     I don't under-
D7sus4 stand
D7sus2                    I can not
Cmaj7  explain
Cmaj7                     But here you

CHORUS
Asus2  are (sustain)
       The priest said a prayer
       Sitting on my mother's knee
       You will remain
       Until I pass away

BRIDGE
Cmaj7                     I don't
D7sus4 believe
D7sus2                    I can't
Cmaj7  believe
Cmaj7                     Yet here you

CHORUS
Asus2  are (sustain)
       You shimmered and glowed
       How was I to know
       About the clothes
       What were you trying to say?

OUTRO
Cmaj7                     I don't under-
D7sus4 stand
D7sus2                    I can not
Cmaj7  explain
