[Bb] [Bbm]
Though Adam was a [Ab] friend of mine, [Gb]
I did not know him well.
He [Db] was [Ab] alone into [Bbm] his distance, [Ab] [Gb] he was deep into his well.
[Db] I could [Fm] guess what he [Bbm] was laughing [Ab] at, [Gb] but I couldn't really tell.
[Bbm] Now the [Ab] story's told [Bbm] that Adam [Ab] jumped, [Gb] but I'm thinking that [Bbm] he fell.
[Bb] Together we [Db] went traveling [Gb] as we received a call.
[Db] His [Fm] destination [Bbm] India, [Ab] [Gb] and I had none at all.
[Db] Well I [Cm] still [Bbm] remember [Ab] laughing [Gb] with our backs against the wall.
[Bb] So free of [Bbm] fear we [Ab] never thought [Gb] that one of [Bbm] us might [Ab] fall.
[Gb] I sit before my [Db] only candle, [Gb] but it's so little light to find my [Db] way.
Now this [Gb] story unfolds [Ab] before my [Bbm] candle, which is [Db] shorter every hour as it [Ab] reaches for the day.
Well [Bbm] I feel just like a candle [Fm] in a way.
I guess [Gb] I'll get there, but I [Db] wouldn't say
[Gb] for sure.
[Gb]
[Db] [Ab]
[Bbm] When we parted we [Db] were laughing still [Gb] as our goodbyes were said.
And [Db] I never [Ab] heard [Bbm] from him [Ab] again [Gb] as each our lives we led.
[Db] Except [Ab] for once [Bbm] in someone [Ab] else's [Gb] letter that I read.
[Bbm] Until [Bb] I heard the sudden [Ab] word that [Bbm] a friend [Bb] of mine was dead.
[Ab] [Gb]
I sit before my [Db] only candle, [Gb]
like a pilgrim who sits beside [Db] the way.
Now [Gb] this journey appears [Ab] before [Bbm] my candle, as [Db] a song that's growing fainter.
[Ab] The harder I play, the [Bbm] less fear before I am I'll [Fm] fade away.
But I guess [Gb] I'll get there, though I [Db] wouldn't say [Ab] [Gb] for sure.

[Db]
[Ab] [Bb] Though Adam was [Db] a friend of mine, [Gb] I did not know him long.
[Db] And when I stood [Cm] [Bbm] myself beside [Ab] him, [Gb] I never thought I wasn't strong.
Still [Db] it [Fm] seems he stopped [Bbm] his singing [Ab] [Gb] in the middle of his song.
Well [Bb] I'm not the one [Bbm] to say I [Ab] know, [Gb] but I'm hoping he [Bb] was wrong.
[Ab] [Gb] I'm holding out my only [Db] candle, [Gb] though it's so little light to find my [Db] way.
Now [Gb] this story's been laid [Ab] beneath [Bbm] my candle, [Db] and it's shorter every hour as [Ab] it reaches for the day.
[Bbm] Yes I feel just like a candle [Fm] in the way.
I hope [Gb] I get there, but I'll [Db] never pray.
