Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure :

In the Tower of SongG
EmI see you standing on the other sDide
EmI don't know how the river gDot so wide
I lovCed you, baby, way back when G
EmAnd all the bridges are burning that we Dmight have crossed
EmBut I feel so close to everythinDg that we lost
We'll Cnever have to lose it againD
I Gbid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But You'll be heCaring from me, baby
Long after I'm gGone
I'll be spDeaking to you sweetly from a winCdow
