GWell my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
CAnGd I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
DI&C#39;m just paying my rent everyday

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all

Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure:
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
CAnd there's a mighty judgment coming
GBut I may be wrong
DYoCu see, you hear these funny voices
GIn the Tower of Song
e I sDee you standing on the other side
e I dDon't know how the river got so wide
CI Gloved you, baby, way back when
e AndD all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
e ButD I feel so close to everything that we lost
CWeD'll never have to lose it again
GI bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
CBut You'll be hearing from me, baby
GLong after I'm gone
DI&C#39;ll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
GIn the Tower of Song
