Tom: Am
Am Am Am Am
[Verse 1]
Am
I was thinking of leaving
Am G
With the world placed firmly at my feet
Dm
Nothing left to gain
F
Nothing left to give you
Am
If I could simply stop breathing
Am G
Maybe then the ache would go away
Dm
Nowhere left to run
Nothing left to run from
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
When you looked me in the eyes
Am G F F
How could I've known that that'd be your final goodbye?
[Chorus]
Am Am
How is it fair I must live this life
G F
Without your infinite light and guidance?
Am Am G
How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
Dm F
And now we all live in the shadow of it
[Verse 2]
Am
In your slumber, you've shown me
Am G
All the little things that you're deprived
Dm F
Of every single thing that I took for granted
Am
Now, I sit here in mourning
Am G
Knowing that you left while you were lost
Dm
And now I'm petrified
F
Of leaving before I belonged
G
My entire life is shrouded now
Am G F
That death's black wing eclipsed your sunshine
F G
And if I have to live for you
In spite of all
Am G F
The pain that I might feel that I go through
F
That's something that I swear to do
[Chorus]
Am Am
How is it fair I must live this life
G F
Without your infinite light and guidance?
Am Am G
How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
Dm F
And now we all live in the shadow of it
[Bridge]
G Am
There is beauty in any loss that teaches you a lesson
F F
All the beautiful friends we leave behind without ever forgetting
G Am
Though life will move without you, I will never move along
F F
If this is my last chance to sing you to sleep
[Instumental]
G Am F F x2
[Outro]
G Am
There is beauty in any loss that teaches you a lesson
F F
All the beautiful friends we leave behind without ever forgetting
G Am
Though life will move without you, I will never move along
F F
If this is my last chance to sing you to sleep
G Am F F
Then let this be my mourning song
