[Verse 1]     
G G
Well, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
C C G G
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
D D C C G G
I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song

[Verse 2]
G G
I said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?", Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
C C G G
But I hear him coughing all night long
D D C C G G
A A hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song

[Verse 3]
G G
I was born like this, I had no choice, I was born with the gift of a golden voice
C C G G
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond
D D C C G G
They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song

[Verse 4]
G G
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll, I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
C C G G
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
D D C C G G
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song

[Verse 5]
G G
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure: the rich have got their channels
C C G G
In the bedrooms of the poor, and there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
D D C C G G
You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song

[Bridge]
Em Em D D Em Em D D
I see you standing on the other side, I don't know how the river got so wide
C C G G
I loved you, baby, way back when
Em Em D D Em Em D D
And all the bridges are burning that we might've crossed, but I feel so close to everything that we lost
C C D D
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again

[Verse 6]
G G
I bid you farewell, don't know when I'll be back, they're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
C C G G
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
D D C C G G
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song

[Verse 7]
G G
Yeah, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
C C G G
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
D D C C G G
I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
