"Out Through The Curtain"
               
Like the light was all I had
                           
I struck the book with my last match
                    
The candle burned so soft and slow
                            
I felt the warmth and felt its glow
              
Salt tasting tears
        
They roll of of my lips
                                            
One for each day I'm inside this house, it's a trap
                                                       
One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love
                      
Won't let it pass me by again
                       
Won't let it pass me by again
    
The grass was clipped

The summer sun
                          
Was beating down on my front yard
                  
All the boys and girls would laugh
                                  
I'd watch them through the curtain's crack
                        
Place all your bets and watch me lose
                           
The life that I got but never used
                        
Dream every night that one will come true
                 
But only bad ones ever do
                      
Won't let it pass me by again
                      
Won't let it pass me by again

NOTE: Hold the D for a while, Then switch back and forth between a D and G.

                     
My heart beats way too fast
                            
To let regret sit in my lap
                      
Won't let it pass me by again
                      
Won't let it pass me by again

(Won't let this pass me by again)
                      
Won't let it pass me by again

(Won't let this pass me by again)
                            ,
Won't let it pass me by again
