Trouble is her only friend and he's back again. 
C              Am   F         C         Am  F 
Makes her body older than it really is.

No one's got much to say in this town.

I'm watching you breathing for the last time. 
                  C                     Am 
A song for your heart, but when it is quiet, 
                 Em                       F 
I know what it means and I'll carry you home.

I'll carry you home.
