He died when the house was empty.  When the maid had gone.
Eb/G            F/A   G/B          
He put a pen to paper for one final song.

He wrote- Oh babe,   it's the only way.
Bb          Bb/A              Gm    Bb/F  
I know it's wrong but I can't stand
Gdim/E               Bb/F                Eb/G       F7/A      Eb/Bb
     To go on living,    to go on living,    living life this way

Gdim/E 				 Bb/F
And I don't know what the time is.   Or what the next line is.
Eb/G              F/A               G/B    
    Or how you're gonna to take the news.
       Cm       G7/C  Cm   Ebm         Fm/Bb   Ebm
But if I had my life again  -  ouu-ouu-ouu - 
Bb          Bb/A     Gm    Bb/F   
I wouldn't change a thing.   
Gdim/E              Bb/F              Eb/G         F7/A      Eb/Bb  Bb
    I'd let nobody.     I'd let nobody    stand inside  my  shoes.



Db     Db/C                     Bbm        A+  
Ohh,         something's gotten hold of me.
Ebm          Bbm/Db          Ab7/C       Gb  Ab7
This home is not the home it used to be.
Db                 Abm9           Db9       
I've gathered dust like the dying flowers - oo-oo
Gb                           Gbm  Db        
  And I've drunk myself sober     Oh - oh - oh - oh.
Ebm7      Ab7/Db      Gb/Db  Db
    after hours   and hours.
