If you're leaving, close the door.

I'm not expecting people anymore.

Hear me grieving, lying on the floor.

Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.

Bm D
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man.
G Em
And my world is pale.

[Verse]
Bm
Had a friend once, in a room.
A Bm
Had a good time, but it ended much too soon.
Bm
In a cold month, in that room.
A Bm
Found a reason for the things we had to do.
[Chorus]
Bm D
I'm a blind, I'm a blind man.
G Em
Now my room is cold.
Bm
When a blind man cries,
D G G/F# Em Em/D Bm
Lord you know he feels it from his soul
[Outro]
