[E] When you first begin your [G] journey, [C] you're not sure of who you are.
And the lessons [G#] that you're learning, they don't seem to take you far.
And you [G#] just can't keep from stumbling, though you try so hard to stand.
And the truth can be so humbling when it's just [E] beyond your hand.
As though [E] youth were my invention, as though love lay undefined.
To [F#m] stay free was my intention, to stay [B] young and [E]
unconfined.
And so [G#m] I held my pride above you, oh [F#m] yes, what a fool was I.
[A] Holding back those words, [G#m]
God [G#m] loves you, [F#] and letting out that [E] word, goodbye.
I was [A] wrong [G#m] to let you [F#] go.
[F#m] I was a child and [E] I did not [D#] know [C#m] about the love [A] that we both could [E] have given.
[A] [E] [C#m] And now you're gone so [G#m] far away.
[F#m] I hope I'll see [E] you again someday, [C#m] but if I don't, [A] I hope I'll [E] see you in heaven.
[A]
[B] [A]
[E]
I was foolish in my younger days [A] to think they'd never end.
[C#m] Life confused me with its changing ways and I [F#] could not [B]
[E] comprehend.
[G#m] All the meaning [G#m] in those moments [F#m] now lost like footprints in the sand.
And [A] I'm standing here remembering, but it's so [B] hard to [E] understand.
I [A] was wrong to let [G#m] you go.
[F#m] I was a child and [E] I did not know [C#m] about the love [A] that we both could have [E] given.
[E]
And now [C#m] you're gone [G#m] so far away.

[D#m] [E]
[A] [E] been sitting in this garden [C#m] in the middle of my days.
[F#m] And my memories fade and harden [B] as the years, they [E] slip away.
And [G#m] I've been looking in this mirror at [F#m] the age around my eyes.
[A] Time is such an earnest laborer.
[G#m] Precision [C#m] is his neighbor.
Lay [A] my body in [E] the ground, but [A] let my [B] spirit touch [A] the sky.

How could [G#] I know [C#m] about the love [A] that we both could have, [E] should have given?
[G#] And now [C#m] you're gone so [G#m] far [F#] away.
[F#m] I hope I'll see [E] you again someday, [C#] but if I [C#m] don't, [A] I hope I'll [E] see you in heaven.
If [C#m] I [A] don't, I hope I'll [E] see you in heaven.
[G#m] Well, [C#m] if I don't,
[A] I hope I'll see you [C#] in heaven.
