Love Lies Bleeding 

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

See Funeral for a friend for intro (being worked on)

      A
The roses in the window box
                 E              E/D
Have tilted to one side
A/C#          D
Everything about this house
                   Bm              B
Was born to grow and die

        A                               F#m
Oh it doesn't seem a year ago
                    Bm    D
To this very day
                  A
You said I'm sorry honey
     E
If I don't change the pace
  D
I can't face another day


F#m             Bm                 E   Bm7  E Bm7
And love lies bleeding in my hand
E      F#m                      Bm                     E   Bm7  E Bm7
Oh it kills me to think of you with another man
E      F#m                                            Bm7
I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
            A/C#       
But my guitar couldn't hold you
      D                Am  D Am
So I split the band
F#m         E                   Am
Love lies bleeding in my hands

I wonder if those changes
Have left a scar on you
Like all the burning hoops of fire
That you and I passed through

You're a bluebird on a telegraph line
I hope you're happy now
Well if the wind of change comes down your way girl
You'll make it back somehow
