Opening part 
Em    Em     Em     Em 
 
 
Verse 
Em             D            A          C 
  What did the stone wash away 
                G               B7               Am           Am 
Are you bailing out, out of the plans we already made 
                   Em                D        A         C 
It won't bother me now, and you know I'll be okay 
                    G                    B7                 Am        Am 
You gotta lead your life, but you're not sure you know the way 
         Em              D                A                  C 
Well you want to walk in white, you wanna sin but you're too shy 
       G                 B7               Am        Am 
So the candle just keeps burning down on you 
 
 
 
    C                D          E     E 
The cards are on the table, I'm here tonight 
    C            D               E        E 
And I don't need anything from you 
C           D          E          E 
Down on the bowery, the changing lights 
    C             D                E        E 
And I'll still be waiting here for you

Verse 
Em          D            A        C  
 I saw that look on your face 
                  G                         B7                 Am      Am 
You don't need me now, and sometimes you're wondering if it's off 
                Em                 D               A       C 
Just another mistake, and why don't you just walk away 
                      G                   B7            Am        Am 
You gotta measure the cost, what have you gain when you lost 
    Em             D              A                 C 
Lay off and wonder why, you wanna win but you won't fight 
       G                 B7              Am       Am 
So the candle just keeps burning down on you
