Intro:  
Cm fading out 
F  Cm (x2) 
 
F 
When I come home 
Cm 
You're just lying there 
F 
Face against the wall 
Cm               Eb  C#maj7 
Never had a care 
 
 
                     F# 
I am just a traveller 
                            Bb 
There's no light in this room 
                         F 
And the body's aching at night 
 
 
                  Cm 
Would I be acting up 
                       F  Cm  Eb   
If i said it's not enough 
 
 
                             C#maj7 
Who knows who else who is with 
                          F# 
No one is with the traveller 
                         Bb 
There's a light in my eyes 
                          F  Cm (x2) 
And a future invisible now 
 
 
F 
Heard it's your birthday 
Cm 
Candles in a row 
F 
Better blow them quick 
Cm                                  Eb  C#maj7 
Before they're melting on the floor 
 
 
                          F# 
You were never a traveller 
                            Bb 
There's no light in your room 
                                 F 
And the bodies don't ache in the night 
 
 
                  Cm 
Would I be acting up 
                     F  Cm  Eb 
If i said not that much 
 
 
                  C#maj7                        F# 
Who else would do anything for the traveller 
                          Bb 
There's a light in her eyes 
                          F  Cm (x2) 
And a future visible touch 
 
 
Outro: Eb  C#maj7  F#  Bb  F  Cm (x2) 
 
       Eb  C#maj7  F#  Bb 
 
 
F                        Cm 
I was looking out of the window at the sky 
F                   Cm 
Starless vigil of a life that has gone by 
F                    Cm 
Saturn turning and I feel there's not much more 
F                   Cm 
For a vision of the night turn off your light
