[A] We were together _ [G] since we were five. _
She was so pretty, Emma was a [A] star in everyone's eyes.
When she said she'd be a movie [G] queen, nobody laughed.
A face like an angel, she could [A] be anything. _

Emily, _ _ [G] Emma, Emily, _ I'm gonna make you the biggest star this [A] world has ever seen. _

At 17, _ [G] we were wed _ at work day and night to earn [A] our daily bread. _
And every day Emma would go [G] out searching for that play that never, ever _ [A] came her way.
You know, sometimes she'd come home [G] so depressed.
I'd hear her crying in the back room, [A] feel so distressed.
_ And I'd remember back when [G] she was five, to the words that used to make [A] Emily come alive.
It was Emily, _ _ [G] Emma, Emily, I'm gonna write your name high on [A] that silver screen.

gonna write your name high on that silver screen.
It was a cold and dark [G] December night when I opened up [A] the bedroom door
to find her lying still and [G] cold upon the bed.
A love letter lying on [A] the bedroom floor.
It read, _ darling [G] I love you, _ but I just can't keep on living [A] on dreams no more.
_ _ I tried so very [G] hard not to leave you, no.
_ _ I just can't keep [A] on trying no more.
