D G D G Cloaked in black like the stars, so wrapped up in yourself you are
D G D G The needle taste sweeter by far than the cold light of day
D G D G And as you become enslaved to the puppy that you grief
D G D G There is nothing I can do to save you from slipping away
Bm G And I just wanted, just needed to say
Bm G D I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away
[Following verse as above] So when you just can't take anymore and the nappy comes too full of pain You reach for the comfort of your white stallion again And I just wanted, just needed to say I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away Just wasting away
Em A Em A I've seen the fire die away, I've seen the sunset in your eyes
Em A G I've seen the darkness coming down and I just needed
A To say goodbye
[Following verse as first verse - Repeat D G sequence] So you're dancing with the candy man, he's saving the last words for you And as he leads you away by the hand there is nothing I can do There is nothing I can do Goodbye to you, goodbye to you
