A          Asus4        A          Asus2
Orpheus is playing the Troubadour
Bm      Bsus2          Bm        Bsus2
Singing his heartbreak songs
   D               A
The ones about Eurydice
   E       Esus4          E     E7
The crowd cringes and yawns
 
A           Asus4   A             Asus2
He's cut off all his guitar strings
Bm              Bsus2       Bm     Bsus2
So he's standing up there alone
D                           A
Silence were there was once music
        E       Esus4       E      E7
While he sings into the microphone
 
        A   Asus4     A        Asus2
It's so hard being so close
      Bm   Bsus2       Bm       Bsus2
But still just out of reach
     D                 A
To something in the darkness
         E                  A
That the light won't let me keep

    A        Asus4            A      Asus2
She vanished some time in the spring
     Bm      Bsus2          Bm      Bsus2
Most people thought she was dead
    D                 A
Others say that they saw her
   E        Esus4       E     E7
Leaving on a midnight jet
 
    A        Asus4         A     Asus2
Now Orpheus acts like he's holy
    Bm      Bsus2        Bm    Bsus2
Like grief has given him wings
      D                A
Searching the globe, looking for her
  E           Esus4         E      E7
Tears in his eyes while he sings
 
 
        A   Asus4     A        Asus2
It's so hard being so close
      Bm   Bsus2       Bm       Bsus2
But still just out of reach
     D                 A
To something in the darkness
         E                  A
That the light won't let me keep

    F#m                 C#m
He found her one day in Morocco
   F#m                 C#m
Living, breathing and well
D                   A
Out there writing a novel
  D                         E
A memoir called 'My Life In Hell'
 
  F#m                     C#m
He begged her to follow him home
  F#m                      C#m
Saying I've come here to save you
   D                   A
She told him to go back alone
       D                     E
Saying 'Baby, it's over, I'm through'
 
    F#m                   C#m
The night that I left, I found you in bed
  F#m                   C#m
With my old roommate Jane
          D                A
You were under the covers, giving her head
       D                      E
So I walked out and boarded a plane
 
        A     Asus4   A      Asus2
It's so hard being so close
     Bm    Bsus2     Bm       Bsus2
But still just out of reach
   D                A
To something in the darkness
         E                  A
That the light won't let me keep
