Fmaj7Em7      Dm[Am7]

I've spent the days of my vanity

Fmaj7  

I'm lost to heaven and I'm lost to earth

Em7            Dm                [Am7]

Didn't give you a minutes-not even moments

Fmaj7      

All my life in a tower of foil      

Em7   Dm     [Am7] 

Shaded feelings: "I don't believe you!"

Fmaj7

When you were there before my eyes

Em7      Dm                 

No one planned it, took it for granted . . .

Chorus 1:

GDm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)

I count the hours since you slipped away

GDm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)

I count the hours that I lie awake

GDm           [G]   Fmaj7 (riff)

I count the minutes and the seconds too

GDm                      [G]  

All I stole and I took from you   -But

Fmaj7 (riff)

Bonny don't live at home (repeat)

Em7                          Dm

Words don't hold you, 

[Am7]      Fmaj7

Broken soldiers

Intro Riff

Chorus 2:

G   Dm      [C]

All my silence and my strained respect

G   Dm      [C]

Missed chances and the same regrets

G   Dm      [C]

Kiss the thief and you save the rest

G      Dm            [C]

All my insights in retrospect-But

Fmaj7 (riff)

Bonny don't live at home (repeat)
