[Verse 1]
      Bm           Bm/A            Bm/G          Bm/F#
Well, I moved back there and got a series of jobs
    Bm         Bm/A          Bm/G      Bm/F#
In restaurants and warehouses
     Bm      Bm/A     Bm/G        Bm/F#
Then I got a job as a delivery driver
       Bm    Bm/A     Bm/G     Bm/F#
And my route took me there
  Bm      Bm/A                 Bm/G     Bm/F#
I met her while she was in the kitchen,
         Bm  Bm/A        Bm/G     Bm/F#
Watching TV and drinking beer
    Bm     Bm/A       Bm/G     Bm/F#
My friends say that a prostitute
       Bm           Bm/A                   Bm/G     Bm/F#
Has no heart instead she's run by money and ease
       Bm        Bm/A     Bm/G        Bm/F#
But to me it's a lost and spinning world
            Bm      Bm/A      Bm/G     Bm/F#
Full of unquestionable brutality

[Chorus]
             Bm   Bm/A Bm/G       Bm/F#
And from the East blows uncertainty,
             Bm         Bm/A          Bm/G   Bm/F#
And from the North blows complete despair
             Bm   Bm/A   Bm/G  Bm/F#
And from the South blows alcohol,
             Bm         Bm/A    Bm/G  Bm/F#
And from the West blows hope and repair

[Verse 2]
          Bm     Bm/A             Bm/G     Bm/F#
She would call me form an outside phone
         Bm Bm/A         Bm/G     Bm/F#
And we'd meet on her days off
         Bm                  Bm/A    Bm/G         Bm/F#
Then she left that place with only a bag of clothes
            Bm            Bm/A      Bm/G     Bm/F#
And came to live with me at my apartment
    Bm         Bm/A        Bm/G     Bm/F#
The streets surrounding my apartment
                 Bm           Bm/A         Bm/G     Bm/F#
Are surrounded by warehouses, buildings and stores,
            Bm      Bm/A        Bm/G     Bm/F#
And there's so many people that it's a sea
           Bm    Bm/A    Bm/G     Bm/F#
And hardly anyone do I know
    Bm      Bm/A               Bm/G  Bm/F#
But she and I would sit in the bathtub
      Bm  Bm/A    Bm/G Bm/F#
watch TV and drink beer
    Bm  Bm/A          Bm/G  Bm/F#
And she said that she loved me,
        Bm        Bm/A               Bm/G  Bm/F#
And she said that she would stay with me

[Chorus]
             Bm   Bm/A Bm/G       Bm/F#
And from the East blows uncertainty,
             Bm         Bm/A          Bm/G   Bm/F#
And from the North blows complete despair
             Bm   Bm/A   Bm/G  Bm/F#
And from the South blows alcohol,
             Bm         Bm/A     Bm/G  Bm/F#
And from the West blows hope and repair

[Verse 3]
    Bm          Bm/A               Bm/G  Bm/F#
And months went on, and she barely left my place
          Bm  Bm/A    Bm/G   Bm/F#
She lived off her savings,
       Bm            Bm/A     Bm/G     Bm/F#
Then I came home one night to everything
           Bm  Bm/A   Bm/G  Bm/F#
Everything broken and ruined
Bm      Bm/A            Bm/G            Bm/F#
All her things, all her things were gone
               Bm               Bm/A            Bm/G     Bm/F#
And everything I owned was in a pile covered in gasoline
        Bm            Bm/A     Bm/G            Bm/F#
And the sheets on the bed were covered in blood
        Bm          Bm/A       Bm/G   Bm/F#
All the sheets were covered in blood
       Bm        Bm/A     Bm/G        Bm/F#
But to me it's a lost and spinning world
       Bm      Bm/A      Bm/G     Bm/F#
It's a lost and spinning world

[Chorus]
Bm           Bm/A               Bm/G     Bm/F#
And from the East blow uncertainty,
Bm           Bm/A      Bm/G     Bm/F#
And from the North blows complete despair
Bm           Bm/A      Bm/G     Bm/F#
And from the South blows alcohol,
Bm           Bm/A      Bm/G     Bm/F#
And from the West hope and repair

[Chorus]
             Bm   Bm/A Bm/G       Bm/F#
And from the East blows uncertainty,
             Bm         Bm/A          Bm/G   Bm/F#
And from the North blows complete despair
             Bm   Bm/A   Bm/G  Bm/F#
And from the South blows alcohol,
             Bm         Bm/A     Bm/G  Bm/F#
And from the West blows hope and repair
