    instead of kneeling in the sand,       catching teardrops in my hand.

G            G7    C                 - Cm - Em              A              D               - G

    but I'll be a bag of bones,                driving down the road alone.

    My heart is drenched in wine,       but you'll be on my mind, forever.

    I feel as empty as a drum,                I don't know why I didn't come.
