Tom: C
[Intro] Am C Dm F G
C Em Dm C/E F G
Am
Em D/F# G
There was a time when I could make your bright eyes gleam
D Em D
Now smiles upon your face are few and far between
Em D/F# G
We were so young, naive and blind in all our pride
D G D/F# Em D Em D
To see the war - ning, the turning of the tide
C G
And I guess it's best we laid to rest
Am
All that we had and all that we hoped for
Gsus4 G
It's time to close the door
Am C
Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
Dm F G
Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow
C Em
Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one
Dm C/E
Too long we stared into the sun
F G Am
Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run
F#m E/G# A
Now that we've lost the flame, the beauty of it all
E F#m E
Our symmetry of souls reduced to metaphor
F#m E/G# A
We live, we learn some things are impossible to do
E F#m E
And still I need you more than I want to
D A
But I guess it's best we laid to rest
Bm
All that we had and all that we hoped for
Asus4 A
It's time to close the door
Bm D
Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
Em G A
Through silent fields, where our garden used to grow
D F#m
Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one
Em D/F#
Too long we stared into the sun
G A Bm
Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run
D A
I could've been worse, but I should've been better
Bm
Should've been there 'cause I said "forever"
Now I'm here wondering what
G
Should've, could've, would've been and
D A
I could've said more 'cause the words they matter
Bm
Should've been strong so you wouldn't have shattered
But I'm here wondering what
G
Should've, could've, would've been
D A
And I hope he gives more than I did
Bm Asus4 A
All that you need and all that you hope for
C#m E
Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
F#m A B
Through silent fields, where our garden used to grow
E G#m
Life goes by so fast, so hold me one last time
F#m
You'll always be true love of mine
A B E
And when the day is through I'm watching over you
( B C#m A )
( E B C#m A )
