Verse
G
Lying here in bed
Bm
With things we never said
G Bm
You’re always the first to sleep
G
I whisper my goodbye
Bm
To all the happy lights
Em D
Wrapped around our ugly tree
[Pre-chorus]
C
Come sunrise
Am
Your soft eyes
G Bm
Will frown at my footprints in the snow
C
Come New Year
Am
You’ll know dear
C D
I led you down a short line
[Chorus]
G
And I'm so sorry Caroline
D C
The more you became my hope
Bm D
The more I was made to let you go
Em D C
We lost our fight for time
D G
And I'm so sorry Caroline
D C
I’ll try not to wake the house
Bm D
I wish I could stay and hold you now
Em D C
We lost our fight for time
Am
For life
C D
And some things that never came true
G
For me and you
[Verse 2]
G
December ‘85
Bm
Grandchildren arrive
G Bm
Pride can be a lovely thing

Everything I've missed

Reminds you of that Christmas eve
Em D
When life was caving in

Come sundown
Am
This small town

Looks a bit like the place we fell in love

You'll know dear

I led you down a short line

Come twilight

This long ride

Is moving towards the afterglow

You'll be here

With me on the short line

And I'm still sorry Caroline

The more you became my hope

The more I was made to let you go
