Tom: Em
Em G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G C G Em
You bloomed like the rose of summer
C Am D
And I held you in my arms
Em G D
And in that knowing I found purpose
C D Dsus4 D
We walked on the stars
G C G Em
The world changes, we get older
C Am D
What comes in love must leave in pain
Em G D
And all the gifts we early treasure
C D Dsus4 D
The world takes away.
[Chorus]
C D Dsus4
The years we shared
G Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
C D Dsus4
But the traces of our greatest days
G C D
Will fade away
[Verse 2]
G C G Em
From the pier the ships are leaving
C Am D
The seeds to saplings grow
Em G D
Saplings first turn to forests
C D Dsus4 D
Then ships of oak
G C G Em
Fair winds blow through the journey
C Am D
And I watch you from afar
Em G D
Sailing on distant oceans
C D Dsus4 D
Of eternal calm.
[Chorus]
C D Dsus4
The years we shared
G Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
C D Dsus4
But the traces of our greatest days
G C D
Will fade away
[Chorus]
C D Dsus4
The years we shared
G Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
C D Dsus4
But the traces of our greatest days
G C D
Will fade away
[Break]
C D G Em C D G C D
C D G Em C D G C D Dsus4
[Bridge]
C D
When it all started,
G Em D
it came like poetry
C D G C D G
A vision our truth awakened
[Chorus]
C D Dsus4
The years we shared
G Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
C D Dsus4
But the traces of our greatest days
G C D
Will fade away
[Chorus]
C D Dsus4
The years we shared
G Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
C D Dsus4
But the traces of our greatest days
G C D
Will fade away
[Outro]
C D G Em C
