Intro
E Am E Am
[Verse 1]
E
Here I am again
Am E
Pick my heart up off the floor
Am
And all that once was mine and yours
C#m A
And throw it all into the trash
E
Cause I'll walk these halls again
Am E
But you won't walk here anymore
Am C#m
Just me and all these ghosts of yours
C#m A
I wish they'd all stay in the past
B A
But sometimes I get lost in your memory
B A
As I wander these old dirty streets
B B
I keep lookin' over my shoulder
B
Thinkin' you were still holdin' on
[Chorus]
C#m
To my hand
A
Brush my cheek
E B
You'd wrap your lovin' arms so tight around my sides
A
But when I turn, there's no one there
C#m
But empty streets
E B
And it feels like cutting my heart open every time
A
And every night you meet me here
C#m
To see me watch you leave again
C#m7 B
You finally wrote a song that makes me cry
A* G* C#m
Oh, and it's so beau-------tiful
Bm* A*
It's so beau---tiful
B E
But it's time to say goodbye
Am E Am
Oooh ooohoohoo
[Verse 2]
E
So here I lie again
Am E
As empty as I've ever been
Am C#m
All that's left are the funeral hymns
A Am
Won't you abide with me. Let me go
E E
pea---cefully
E
If I could do it all again
Am E
I would've been a different man
Am C#m
One to hold you to the ends of the earth
A A E E
And baaaaaaack—again. I keep thinking you might...
[Chorus]
C#m
Take my hand
A
Brush my cheek
E B
You'd wrap your lovin' arms so tight around my sides
A
But when I turn, there's no one there
C#m
But empty streets
E B
And it feels like cutting my heart open every time
A
And every night you meet me here
C#m
To see me watch you leave again
C#m7 B
You finally wrote a song that makes me cry
A* G* C#m
Oh, and it's so beau-------tiful
Bm* A*
It's so beau---tiful
B E
But it's time to say goodbye
