Bm G D Bm G D

When a love grows cold, like the fire come dawn

Bm G D Bm G D

It is a bitter tune, old homes know through and through

When is it too soon to walk

A G Gmaj7 Em

When to run dry of talk from burning just the same

Was it easier in days gone by

A G Gmaj7 Em

Clear skies and storms alike, and words of ties that bind

Bm G D Bm G D

From time to time, a man must go

Bm G D Bm G D

But let me tell you friend, it is a long way down

When is it too soon to walk

A G Gmaj7 Em

When to run dry of talk from hurting just the same

Was it easier in days gone by

A G Gmaj7 Em

Clear skies and storms alike, and words of ties that bind

Bm G D Bm G D

When the wine is sweet but the love's still true

Bm G D Bm G D

It's been done before, you can work it through
