G                         E
And I will leave a light on
                        G
As long as there's a hope
                E
A solitary candle
                   G
But in the meanwhile

I'm sitting at this table
                           E
So utterly empty at her side
G
I keep you like a secret

And I smile
           D
But it's not quite true
           Bm
And it's not quite you
Em
Pale imitation
                            C
All the finest words could buy
    D
For I
              Em
As lost as I am

Imitation
                   C
Of the one I left behind
 D
The one
                     G
The one I left behind
                            E
As long as theres a hope left
                     G
If there's anybody home
                                  E
There's dead leaves in the driveway
                G
Is there anybody?

Tonight is so familiar
                                E
As long as I don't look too close
                           G 
For the last, last last time

I find myself a wasted summer rose
          D
And I chase the ghost
      Bm
That I miss the most
Em
Pale imitation
                           C
All the finest words could buy
   D
For I
                Em
As lost as I am

Imitations
                    C
Of the one I left behind
   D
The one
                      Em
The one I left behind

                            C

As lost as I am
