Richard Manuel is dead

I've been wandering through the dark

() ()
now I'm standing on the lawn
Chorus:
A Bm D
If I could give all my love to you
A
I could justify myself
G D
but I'm just not coming through
A
You're a pill to ease the pain
G D
of all the stupid things I do

I'm an anchor on the line
G
of a clock that tells the time
A G D (play first 1/2 of intro riff over A
G D

that is running out on you
Verse 2:

It was cold when I awoke

Verse 3:
Bm D
Take some time before you go
A
To think of Mondays coming down

and the people that you knew

You've been fading day to day
Bm D
I've been moving town to town
