Lyrics

(Eb)Here I lie in a lost and lone ly part of town.

Held in time in a world of tears I slow ly drown.

(F)Go in’ home I I just can’t make it (G)all a lone, I real ly should be (F)hold ing you,

hold ing you,

(Ab)lov ing you,

lov ing you.

(Cm)Trag e dy,

when the (Gm)feel ing’s gone and you can’t go on, it’s (Cm)trag e dy;

when the (Gm)morn ing cries and you don’t know why, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

with no one to love you, you’re (Cm)go in’ no where.

(Cm)Trag e dy,

when you (Gm)lose con trol and you got no soul, it’s (Cm)trag e dy;

when the (Gm)morn ing cries and you don’t know why, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

with no one to love you, you’re (Cm)go in’ no where.

(Eb)Night and day there’s a burn ing down in side of me.

Burn ing love with a yearn ing that won’t let me be.

(F)Down I go and I just can’t take it (G)all a lone, I real ly should be (F)hold ing you,

hold ing you,

(Ab)lov ing you,

lov ing you.

(Cm)Trag e dy,

when the (Gm)feel ing’s gone and you can’t go on, it’s (Cm)trag e dy;

when the (Gm)morn ing cries and you don’t know why, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

with no one to love you, you’re (Cm)go in’ no where.

(Cm)Trag e dy,

when you (Gm)lose con trol and you got no soul, it’s (Cm)trag e dy;

when the (Gm)morn ing cries and you don’t know why, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

with no one to love you, you’re (Cm)go in’ no where.

when the (Gm)morn ing cries and your heart just dies, it’s (Bb7sus)hard to bear

with no one to love you, you’re (Cm)go in’ no where.

Oh.
