[A] [D]
[Bm] [E]
[A] When, like [D] some ember, [B] I gradually [E] [Bm] fade out [A] and die
[E] [F#m]
Who's [E] gonna stand there and [A] cry?
[F#m] [B] Which one of my friends will know [C#m] where the book ends?
[E] Will know how to tell [F#] me [B] [A] goodbye?
Like [D] some daydream [B] I traced through [A] interminable sky
[E]
[F#m] Would it have [E] been worth [C#m] all the pain?
[F#m] [D]
[Bm] Yes, sure [E] would
[A] And again, [D]
[Bm] [E]
[A] just like [D] a shadow, [B] we leave such [E] a [Bm] mark and [A] no more
[E] Life [F#m]
will [E] go on [C#m] as before
[F#m] Broken [B] your heart and [E] you played out [C#m] your part
[E] And your story don't go [F#m] on [G#m] [A] anymore
Yet like [D] some whisper [B] that falls with [E] the winter's [A] first snow
[E]
[F#m] We're here [E] for a moment [C#] or so
[F#m] Then [D]
[Bm] [E] as dust, [A] we go
[D] [Bm] [E]
[A] If we [D] are no bird, [Bm] like some treeless [E] leaf [A] on the breeze
[E] [F#m]
Sure we [E] are easily [A] pleased
[F#m] We [B] hang on to existence [E] just to cover the distance
Until we are [F#m] brought [G#m] to our knees
[A] One drop of [D] rain [Bm] leaves more of [E] a stain than [A] I
[E]
[F#m] Should I [E] just curl [C#m] up and die?
[F#m] [D]
No, [Bm] no, [E]
[A] no crying
[D]
[Bm] When [E]
[A] I [D] am called to [Bm] whatever [E] is calling me home
[A] [E] If now I [F#m] think there [E] is a thing I have [A] known
[E] [F#m]
If [B] I won't have I lost
If [E] I counted the cost
I could say I had possibly [A] grown
What [D] take I with me?
[Bm] Nothing [E]
but [A] this here
[E]
[F#m] If once in [E] a moment's [C#m] recast
[F#m] I [D]
found [Bm] your [E] love
[A] I found [D] your love
[Bm] [E]
[A] [Bm] [E] [D]
[C] [B] [E]
[Bm] [E]
[A]
