_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ Please forgive me [C] now, _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ there [C] ain't a thing left to up [G] this down.
_ _ [F] And there was never a [C] time, _ or a calm before [G] the storm.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ [F] _ And I reside [C] in you, _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ and half of you [C] resides in me too.
_ _ [F] _ _
It's the only [C] way, _ I know I'm [G] strong enough. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
I felt your leather [C] coat, _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ seeing your clothes [C] tied and not in my throat. _ _
[Am] _ It's such a helpless _ [C] feeling, when you've got no cards to [G] play. _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] This can't be all that [C] there is, _ _ _ [Am] there's a silence I can't forget. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ With a faint [F] smile, the tip of your [C] cap, you said it's alright [G] now.
_ _ [Am] It could rain [F] down sheets in the dark, [C] but I would never let you drown.
And [Am] I know, _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
I [Am] know, _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] I tried to make [C] the best. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Where you've gone there's no pain [Em] in your chest.
[C] _ _
[Am] _ But 25 [C] _ years, it was not long enough.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Am] If it were up to [C] me, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
you'd be there [C] on the day I [Em] got [C] married.
_ [Am] _ You'd watch your grandchildren [C] run, _ _ [G] circles round the yard.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] Well this can't be all [C] that there is, _ _ _ _ [Am] there's a silence _ I can't forget.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But with a faint smile, the tip of your [C] cap, you said it's alright [G] now. _
[Am] It could rain down sheets in the [C] dark, but I would never let you [G] drown.
And I _ know, [F] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Am] I know, _ call _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
me crazy but I hear your footsteps.
[C] Call me crazy but I feel you [F] running.
[Am] Call me crazy but I hear your [C] footsteps, all the way [G] from heaven.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _

_ With a faint smile, the tip of your cap, [C] you said it's alright [G] now.
_ _ [Am] It could rain [F] down sheets in the dark, [C] but I would never let [G] you drown.
And [Am] I know, _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C]
I [Am] know.
