Green Lyrics

A great song from OMD's 2010 album, "History Of Modern"
Intro: C F Dm G C F Dm G
If all the things you said were right
How come you can't go home tonight
You're frightened on your own
Scared to be alone
In your head
Not at home
And all the things you say and do
Won't take the fear away from you
And so you're once again tonight
Just praying for the light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again the dread
Is burning in your head
You try but can't let go
This pain that kills you so
If all the things you say were true
Why can't you start this game anew
It's nothing that was said, it's only in your head
But the dread, oh God the dread
And all the things you say and do
Won't take the fear away from you
And so we're once again tonight
Just praying for the light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again the dread
Is burning in your head
You try but can't let go
This pain that kills you so
And so we're once again tonight
Just praying for the light
When thoughts that haunt you so
Will slowly let you go
And once again the dread
Is burning in your head
You try but can't let go
This pain that kills you so
Coda: Am G F E (to fade)
