Intro: Em C Em C

[Em]Oh my god, I cry in fear
Afra[C]id you have forgot me here
Afra[D]id you have forgotten one
Your qu[C]iet, dull and f[Em]aithful son[C]

I w[Em]ent to work, I worked all day
When I wa[C]nted to run, I stayed
I kept the pr[D]omises I made
I kept the pr[C]omises I m[Em]ade

[Em]Little children came and grew
M[C]oved away and never knew
W[D]ho I was or who I am
Well, they n[C]ever knew this [Em]lonely man

And those m[C]ornings came st[G]iff with rain
I thought th[D]e sun would never[C] shine again
With the[C] sleeves of my old ra[G]incoat
Stained with the s[D]alt of my own t[C]ears

And I n[C]ever would t[G]ell you then
So I[D] never will t[C]ell you now
All the th[C]ings that break an [G]old man down
The r[D]eal truth is, I d[C]on't know how


[Em] [C] [Em] [C] [Em] [C][Em][C]

[Em]Oh my god, I cry in fear
Afra[C]id you have forgot me here
Afra[D]id you have forgotten one
Your qu[C]iet, dull and faithful son

Who's se[D]en the loneliest of days
And fo[C]ught the dirtiest of ways
With the m[D]an inside who would have run away
From the pr[C]omises I m[Em]ade

[Em] [C] [Em] [C] [D] [Em]

End on Em
