Song:

  A     A9      C
Walking alone tonight

              A      A9        C
‘Cause I’ve only got room for two

A        A9         C
Me and my burdened black heart

A           A9          C
It’s all we know how to do

A     A9         C
  Yet I look for a bigger bang

A        A9     C
  Than the kind I continually see

A         A9          C
  Sick of all this inertia 

       A  A9    Am
Won’t you mend   me?

(Play intro)
Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think

A  A9               C
         You’re a mountain 

A  A9              C       F
         that I’d like to climb

A  A9           C  
         Not to conquer 

A  A9          C            F          G
        but to share in the view


(repeat pattern)

Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That’s coercing me to dance

Yet I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I’m sorry to know.
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go.

Lover, can you help me?
I’m a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think

You’re a mountain that I’d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You’re a bonfire and I’m gathered ’round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Send it away (repeat)

You’re a mountain
That I’d like to climb
Not to conquer, but to share in the view
You’re a bonfire
And I’m gathered ’round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame

Set it aflame, send it away
