D#m
All this time I'd never let you go
            C#                                    G#
And now the same chains that I've kept you in are holding down my soul
  D#m
I set you up, I gave you life, I dragged you out the fire
            C#                                        G#
And now you knocked me down you shut me out and I can see it in your eyes
            F#
Somehow you got it in your head, that you can make it on your own
         G#
You were sheltered, loved, and fed but you just couldn't leave it alone
 
 
[Chorus (repeat x2)]
         D#m
Leave it alone, leave it alone
         C#              G#
Leave it alone, leave it alone
 
 
D#m
Well your heart was here, resting on my lap
        C#                      G#
and I'd do it all again but I'm never coming back
       D#m
Well I know I'm lying, lying in the cold
             C#                                                G#
Yeah there's snow on the ground, and if I know myself, I'll be leaving down the road
          F#
I've been all around the world but I've got nowhere to go
  G#
I gave into this lonely life and you can't change me now so
 
 
[Chorus + Instrumental]
 
    D#m
The ghosts are on the green each and every night
       C#                   G#
Oh the distant light is the hardest part to take
           D#m
That's the heart of all my pain lying in the cold
       C#                 G#
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know
 
 
D#m, C#, G# [x2]
 
 
         D#m
Could it all be over now? We've seen it all the while
           C#                               G#
There's no dimension to the clouds, and the moon and world around
           D#m
That's the heart of all my pain, cause I don't wanna go
      C#                 G#
Oh the distant light in a hue we can't describe, still we know

Lack of accuracy. There are some changes missing. There's at least a few chords missing or wrong leading up to the chorus. Be flatC A.

I think the pre-chorus starting with "I've been around the world..." is actually a weird jazzy F# that looks like this relative to the capo:e --x--b --3--g --2--d --3--a --1--e --1--That might not be exactly right but it seems to work better than a straight F# (or F with the capo). So after that weird F#, it goes to C, then back to the same F# for the next line and finishes with the G#.

Chord progressions are close, but simplified to a fault. Multiple chord changes aren't there in the verses. Missing an A# chord around the chorus.
