VERSE:
Amsus2                 Riff 1
Solitude stands by the window
Amsus2                  Riff 1
She turns her head as I walk in the room
      Amsus2                     Riff 1
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Amsus2                            Riff 1
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
        Am(9)                Am(9)
And she turns to me with her hand extended
    B5/F#                B5/F#              Am(9)/E
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

INSTRUMENTAL:

Amsus2    Riff 1    Amsus2   Riff 1


Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]

Amsus2                Riff 1        Gadd6         F7sus4
  And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
Amsus2                Riff 1          Gadd6     F7sus4
  And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
C#m7               C#m7              Bsus4     Amsus2
  And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
C#m7            C#m7             Bsus4       Amsus2
  And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"

And I turn to the crowd as they're watching
They're sitting all together in the dark and the warm
And I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]

And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"

Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

[Fade out on repeated Cadd7 & B5]
