[Bb] [Bbm]

[Db] There's an empty [Ab] place beside me [Ebm] where my lover [F] ought to stand.
And [Bbm] there's a burning sun [Ab] before me [Bbm] and the [Fm] throttles in [Bbm] my [Ab] eyes.
[Bbm] [Ab] [Bbm] Two days ago [Ab] I lost him [Bbm] on a [Fm] world without a [Bbm] name.
[Ab] As we touched the [Fm] land to claim it [Bbm] for the [Fm] thousandth [Bbm] time the same.
[Db] And I left him [Ab] but a moment [Gb] and I did [Ebm] not [F] see him fall.
[Bbm] I only know [Ab] that I failed him, [Bbm] never heard [Fm] his [Bbm] final [Ab] call.
[Bbm] [Ab]
[Bbm] I dug his [Ab] grave in alien [Bbm] ground in the shade [Fm] of an [Bbm] alien wood.
[Ab] And I touched him there [Fm] one final time [Bbm] and I said what [Fm] [Bbm] words I could.
[Db] Let that cold world [Ab] hold him gently [Ebm] for he came so [F] far to die.
[Bbm] Then I took the ship [Ab] that was our home [Bbm] and [Fm] blasted [Bbm] for the [Ab] sky.
[Bbm] [Ab] [Bbm] But deep space [Ab] holds no comfort [Bbm] for one [Fm] broken [Bbm] and alone.
[Ab] And our ship held [Fm] only memories [Bbm] of the joys that [Fm] we [Bbm] once had known.
[Db] And I could not live [Ab] without [Ebm] him and a life no [F] longer whole.
[Bbm] So I chose to die [Ab] by starlight and [Bbm] let [Fm] fire cleanse [Bbm] my [Ab]
[Bbm] soul.
[Ab] [Db] And now the screens [Ab] glow brining bright, [Db] the fires [Fm] burn ahead.
[Db] The hall [Ab] around me whispers [Fm] as it glows an angry [Bbm] red.
[Db] There's a high cold [Ab] whale behind [Gb] me as no starship stew could [F] cry.
But [Bbm] my hand is [Ab] cold and steady [Bbm] for the [Fm] time has [Bbm] come to [Ab] die.
[Bbm] [Ab] [Bbm] But now my [Ab] love comes back to me [Bbm] cross gulfs [Fm] I'll [Bbm] never know.
[Ab] And I hear his voice [Fm] within me and [Bbm] I [Fm] hear him crying [Bbm] no.
[Db] And I pull the [Ab] throttle to me [Gb] and the forward [F] thrusters burn.
[Bbm] And the ship cries [Ab] out in agony [Bbm] as she [Fm] fights to make [Bbm] the [Ab] turn.
[Bbm] [Ab]
[Bbm] My vision starts to [Ab] fail me [Bbm] as the forces [Fm] mount [Bbm] and grow.
[Ab] And I wonder when [Fm] the ship will fail and [Bbm] I [Fm] wonder if [Bbm] I'll know.
[Db] Then the screen [Ab] before me darkens [Gb] and a coolness [Ebm] strikes [F] my face.
[Bbm] And there's nothing left [Ab] before me [Bbm] but the endless [Fm] depths [Bbm] [Ab] of space.
[Bbm] [Ab]
[Bbm] There's a darkness [Ab] out between the stars [Bbm] that any [Fm] eye can [Bbm] see.
[Ab] But there's a light within [Fm] that darkness [Bbm] touches even [Fm] a fool like [Bbm] me.
[Db] For I know my [Ab] love forgives me [Ebm] and I know he loves [F] me still.
[Ab] Once [Bbm] we roamed the [Ab] stars together [Bbm] now I know [Fm] we [Bbm] [Ab] always will.
