The Lone Bellow

     C
Marietta,
                         F           
You lost me a long time ago, 
          C     
in your midnight, 
     C                         F                 
the flood and the fire of my soul


[Chorus]
              Am                   C      
And I let you in again, I let you in again,
        F           C             
You sleep with the lights on,
          Am
I let you in again


[Verse 2]
    C
Marietta,
        C                       F
the loneliness burns at your door,
         C 
in your midnight, 
                                     F
she seeps through the cracks in your floor


[Chorus]
              Am                  C
And I let you in again, I let you in again,
        F           C           
You sleep with the lights on, 
      F             C          G
what you call your family are gone
           Am         
I let you in again
         F     C             G 
and patiently wait for your storm.


[Instrumental]
Dm   F   C   G x2


[Bridge]
       Dm                 F
The worry of what couldn’t be, 
      C                        G
the love for the lust of your name, 
    Dm                      F
of losing, of winning, of striving, of leaving 
    C                            G
and stealing and breaking and shame.
                
And I am that man

       Dm                  F
The worry of what couldn’t be,
      C                        G 
the love for the lust of your name, 
     Dm                   F     
of losing, of winning, of striving, of leaving, 
    C                         G
of stealing and breaking and shame, 
   Dm                          F                  C
of fighting and failing and lying and telling yourself 
                          G
that you’re clean of the blame.


[Chorus]
          Am                   C        
I let you in again, I let you in again, 
      F             C
you sleep with the lights on, 
           F          C        G
what you call your family are gone
          Am      
I let you in again 
       F       C              G
and patiently wait for your storm.
