emotional paul kelly

F C Dm C

the days are getting colder
they stretch before me all in a line
each night gets a little bit longer
and these stars that once were strange now i call mine
Am G C Dm G
oh , it’s been so long since i saw her face
and i just can’t find my way out of this place
F
i took the law into my hands
C
you’d do the same from where i stand
F C Dm
but the punishment here is much worse than the crime
C F C
i guess i get a little emotional sometimes

each night i light a candle
and i get down on my knees and i pray
my home in ashes i can handle
but not to see my loved ones losing their way
if my tongue sounds lame please don’t turn away
don’t you see i’m losing it a little bit every day
if you let yourself understand
i’ll give you my heart and hands
or else the punishment will be much worse than the crime
i know i get a little emotional sometimes
do you blame me if i get a little emotional sometimes?
don’t act so surprised if i get a little emotional sometimes
