vocals enter

At the close of every day
There's a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
"We're all doing time"
Something's closing
Haven't you heard?

Bridge

 D
The woman that we tried to stop
      G                             D
Now sits alone just waiting till forever
                   G
Forever makes me cry and I don't know
              D                        G
Why all you people, put that into my head
                             D
I can't see why this conversation
                      G
Is looking kind of dead

Verse 2 + Chorus

 D                      G
At the close of every day
                        D
There's a woman passing
                        G
Lover did you hear her say
               D
Her one last word
                  G
I'm often doing time

And I don't know just
            D
Why you reckon it would be
       G        D
This day and don't you see
           G
That my heart's on fire
  D
Your wicked wings that you
  G                    D
Spread 'round me sometimes
                      G
All I know is we've got to aim higher
  D                     G
Babe I wish that we'd go
For the great escape

 F
So do you praise a different light
 E                          F
And I am blinded by it, so sorry

That I made you cry
               E
Your faith in me it had to die
                F
I guess that it's too late,
                 E
The lights are out,
                    F
The party's over baby

And now I wish I told you


Continue D-G progression 'till the end.
