With the Farms of the darkness Csurrounding, around Gme 
AmThrow dirt in my Ceyes and try Fconvincing me

AmHere we lay to Crest a Fyounger man than the Cone I now Gam 
AmI now am half the Cone he was when I Fsmothered him Cbeneath my Gskin 
AmCurse my fickle Fheart, my stubborn Cways, my foolish Gpride 
AmWondering if ever there a Fbetter way to live or least some Cbetter way to Gdie 
Today is the Amfirst day Cof the Grest of my Flife 
Today is the Amfirst day Cof the Grest of my Flife 
I’m learning how to Amdie C  F  C  G

With the arms of the darkness surrounding, around me

I’m giving up, on giving up

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

I set my sails for safer waters, I left my love for higher ground, don’t look down

Down on luck like a sinner feeling sorry for myself

I’m losing sleep, I lost you once, I wont lose you now again

Am C G F

Forever my love

Am C G F

Forever my friend
