Paul Kelly - Emotional

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
