Once divided...nothing left to subtract...

F                    Dm  C        Dm    A#
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...

F              Dm       C           Dm         A#
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...

F             Dm            C         Dm       A#
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...

Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...

She once believed...in every story he had to tell...

F                    Dm C        Dm    A#
One day she stiffened...took the other side...

F           Dm           C           Dm           A#
Empty stares...from each corner of a shaped prison cell...

F               Dm       C       Dm      A#
One just escapes...one's left inside the well...

F                Dm          C           Dm      A#
And he who forgets...will be destined to remember...oh...oh...oh...

C             A#     Dm             A#       C
Oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away...

A#
Oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun...

Burn...burn...
