[Verse 1]
F#
Soft as the morning
B F#
Sweet as a rose
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
C# baby comes stumbling in
F#
There's blood on her fingers
B F#
And snow on her nose
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
I dont even ask where she's been
[Verse 2]
F#
With hair like a gypsy
B F#
And eyes like a lamb
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
There's kerosene flames burning low
F#
I leave her half there
B F#
Down the hall and up the stairs
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
She's out before she hits the pillow
[Chorus]
B
And where have you been
F#
So long so long
B C# C#sus4 C#
I've waited on you my whole life
B
Therе's some things that change
F# C#/F D#m
Therе's some that remain
C# C#sus4 C#
I remain
B
By your side
(D)
By your side

[Verse 3]
F#
Force words through my teeth
B F#
Over rosary beads
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
My father says give it a try
F# B
I think about taking the train
F#
For the coast
F#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
But I can't bear to leave her behind
[Verse 4]
F# B F#
And once in a while I see hope in her smile
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
As if she's recalled who she was
F#
When she was just a girl
B F#
And the weight of the world
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
Hadn't found a new victim to crush
[Chorus]
B
And where have you been
F#
So long so long
B C# C#sus4 C#
I've waited on you my whole life
B
There's some things that change
F# C#/F D#m
There's some that remain
C# C#sus4 C#
I remain
B
By your side
(D)
By your side

F#
Soft as the morning
B F#
And sweet as a rose
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
My baby goes stumbling in
F#
Through gates open wide
B F#
Toward a mansion of light
C#/F D#m C# C#sus4 C#
They dont even ask where she's been
