Tom: E
E
[Verse 1]
E
There's my yellow bird
C#m
And though I'd love to feel love from her
A
It was all in the past
A B E
And my white picket fence is burning to the ground
E
There's that orange shirt
C#m
Burned in my memory from this hurt
A
It was the last time we touched
B E
I didn't know I'd never see you again
[Chorus 1]
A B E
Won't you let me go?
A B E B A E A
For every man has known a love of this kind
B E
Just keep your hands off mine
[Verse 2]
E
As the years go by
C#m
I see the stars they slowly die
A
And the memories fade
B E
With each passing day
E
And as an old man looking back
C#m
On the long life that I've had
A
I will think of this and smile
B E
And be glad I knew you for a while
[Chorus 2]
A B E
So I'll let you go
A B E B A E A
For every man has known a love of this kind
B E
Just keep your hands off mine
