[Bm] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
Me.
_ [C] _ _ _ Your hands [E] were cold, your [Em] _ voice [Am] was _ _ shaky. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
One morning [E] not too [Am] long ago. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ And at the [E] time _ [Em] I was _ only a [Am] child. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ About _ [E] to lose my child [Am] like mine.
_ _ _ _ _ _ The way [D] you touched _ my _ _ hands.
_ Like [C] you never _ [G] _ had [A] before.
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ It wasn't you _ [G] anymore. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ I called for my [B]
brothers.
I called [A] for my _ sisters. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ But there [E] was nothing left for them [Am] to do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And so [D] I watched from far away.
_ _ _ As [C] the _ _ [G] _ ambulances [A] _
came.
_ _ And _ _ started dressing [G] for _ school. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Em] Goodbye [G] _ [Dm] _ _
sweet [C] _ mother [G] earth. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Without you [G] now _ [Dm] I'm a _ lonely [E] _ _ [G] universe. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You _ [D] won't always _ _ _ understand.
_ When _ [G] you've truly loved _ [A] someone.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Until after [G] they've gone. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ This time of year [E] _
the _ [Bm] nights fall [Am] _ longer.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ So grow a [E] [Ab] spine or catch [Am] cold.
The _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
winter [E] months they do make you [Am]
feel _ _ stronger. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
But in [Abm] the end _ you're so getting [A] old. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And you [D] won't _ _ always _ be. _
_ Walking [C] the _ [G] safest _ [A] street. _ _ _ _ _
_ But you can find your [G] way _ home. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ If [G] you have [Dm] _ imagined [Am] your way [G] back. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Then my [G] dear [D] you're more [E] than half way [G] _ there. _ _ _
_ _ _ And [D] you might _ only _ _ possess. _
_ What you [G] carry _ _ [D]
on your [A] back. _ _ _ _
_ But you've always been [G] free.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now [Am] it's time [G] to believe. _ _
_ _ _ [A] Time to give up [G] that _ _ _ _ _ unforgiving _ act.
Stop _ all _ _ _ _ _ togetherness.
And [C] _
start living [G] out _ [D] your _ [Am] oldest childhood [G] _ dreams. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well [C] _ losing [G] your mind it [Dm] ain't half as [E] bad as it [G] seems.
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
if you would take the risk.
_ Well [C] it might be [G]
worth [A] your time. _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ It's only [G] your life. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] It's only [G] going by. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _
_ _ [G] Goodbye _ _ [Dm] _
[Am] sweet _ _ [G] mother earth. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Without you [G] now I'm a [Dm] _ _
[E] lonely _ [G] universe. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ You [D] won't _ always _ _ understand.
_ _ When you [G] truly _ love _ [A] someone.
_ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [A] Until after they've [G] gone. _ _ _ _ _ _
