Fmaj7						Em7	      Dm	Am7 
I've spent the days of my vanity 
Fmaj7			   			 
I'm lost to heaven and I'm lost to earth 
Em7	      		       Dm                Am7}					 
Didn't give you a minutes-not even moments 
 
Fmaj7		        
All my life in a tower of foil				        
Em7		    Dm		     Am7	   
Shaded feelings: "I don't believe you!" 
Fmaj7 
When you were there before my eyes 
Em7		      Dm                   
No one planned it, took it for granted . . . 
 
Chorus 1: 
G				Dm           G}	   Fmaj7 (riff) 
I count the hours since you slipped away 
G				Dm           G}	   Fmaj7 (riff) 
I count the hours that I lie awake 
G				Dm           G}	   Fmaj7 (riff) 
I count the minutes and the seconds too 
G		Dm                      G}	    
All I stole and I took from you   -	But 
Fmaj7 (riff) 
Bonny don't live at home (repeat) 
Em7                          Dm 
Words don't hold you,   
 Am7      Fmaj7 
Broken soldiers

Chorus 2: 
G   			Dm	      C 
All my silence and my strained respect 
G   			Dm	      C 
Missed chances and the same regrets 
G   			Dm	      C 
Kiss the thief and you save the rest 
G   		    Dm	            C 
All my insights in retrospect-But 
Fmaj7 (riff) 
Bonny don't live at home (repeat)
