VERSE:
Amsus2 Riff 1
Solitude stands by the window
Amsus2 Riff 1
She turns her head as I walk in the room
Amsus2 Riff 1
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Amsus2 Riff 1
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
Am(9) Am(9)
And she turns to me with her hand extended
B5/F# B5/F# Am(9)/E
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Amsus2 Riff 1 Amsus2 Riff 1
Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]
Amsus2 Riff 1 Gadd6 F7sus4
And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
Amsus2 Riff 1 Gadd6 F7sus4
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
C#m7 C#m7 Bsus4 Amsus2
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
C#m7 C#m7 Bsus4 Amsus2
And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"
And I turn to the crowd as they're watching
They're sitting all together in the dark and the warm
And I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]
And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"
Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[Fade out on repeated Cadd7 & B5]
