VERSE:
D
Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl.
G
She was absolutely perfect in an imperfect world.
D
Forever's a promise, it's more than just a word.
G
They meant it to each other, of that they were sure.
D
He came home to her crying at the top of the stairs.
G
He asked, "baby what's the matter?" as he pushed back her hair.
D
She said honey I'm sick.
A
What the hell did I do?
G D
And with hate in his heart, he screamed at the moon.
CHORUS:
D G
Please don't take her away from me,
D G Bm
She truly is everything, that I have left.
Bm F#m A
As selfish as it may seem,
D
I need you here with me.
VERSE:
D
Day after day, he stood by her side,
G D
While Sleepless in Seattle, played through his mind.
D
Forever seems longer when you've got your whole life,
G D
But forever is forgotten where the end draws the line.
D
She said "honey just listen, listen to me,
G D
We should be together in a boat on the sea."
D
He held back his tears, and spoke quietly,
G D
"When I picture forever, it's you here with me."
CHORUS:
D G
Please don't take her away from me,
D G Bm
She truly is everything, that I have left.
Bm D A
As selfish as it may seem,
D
I need you here with me
CHORUS:
D G
And please just let her go painlessly.
D
Let her drift on in her dreams.
G Bm
Just don't make her feel a thing.
Bm D A
Just try and get some sleep.
D
This angel deserves her wings.
BDA K:
D G
As leaves fall from the trees,
Bm
She became a memory,
Bm G
To a man who lost everything-ing.
D G
Forever doesn't mean anything.
Bm
Just a promise that we take.
G
But there's hope for you and me.
OUTRO:
D A D
She looked to the sky and with one final breath,
F# G D
Said "take this heart from out of my chest.
D
Carry it far with the love you possess.
G D
I'm sorry my boy, but I tried my best.
