Time [D] heals wounds, they [Em] say, time [Bm] takes the pain away
[C]
I [D] wonder why [C] it never happened [D] for me
[G]
It's years [D] since you went away, [Em] _
I [Bm] miss you night and [C] day
Why [D] you had to go [C] is a mystery [G] to me _ _
_ What seems [D] important then [Em] becomes trivial [Bm]
when
_ [C] Fate deals [D] the cards [C] that forces [D] your hand
[G] All the places [D] we've been, [Em] all the things we [Bm] have seen
[C] No more in [D] the future, [C] it just [G] isn't planned
_ _ [D] _ [G] Now it's all [D] very strange, [Bm] when you went I changed
[C] It just seemed [D] to happen [C] with each passing [D] of the day
[G] And I don't [D] understand, _ [Em] is it part of [Bm] a plan?
[C] Does one [D] person grow [C] while another [G] fades away?

[C] Why [D] you had to go [C] is a mystery [G] to me
[D] _ _ [G] Now small [D] things you do, [Em] we have pictures [Bm] of you
_ [C] _
Printed for [D] life, [C] on the back of [D] my mind
[G] I was always [D] so sure, [Em] your life was [Bm] so pure
[C] Through faults and [D] the bad times, [C] the loved ones [G] they splined

[C] You helped me [D] with worries, [C] you eased all [D] my fears
[G] You always [D] had time, [Em] for problems [Bm] of mine
[C] A shoulder [D] to cry on, [C]
a listening [G] _ ear
[D] _
_ _ [G] Time [D] heals wounds, they [Bm] say, time takes the pain away
[C] I [D] wonder why [C] it never happened [D] for me
