Capo on 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
It Gstarted out as a Dfeeling
Which then Emgrew into a Chope
Which then Gturned into a Dquiet thought
Which then Emturned into a quiet Cword
And Dthen that word grew D7louder and louder
'GTil it was a Dbattle cEmry
[Chorus]
I'll come Cback
When you Dcall Gme
EmNo need to say goodbDye
[Verse 2]
GJust because everything's Dchanging
Doesn't mean it's Emnever been this way beCfore
GAll you can do is try to Dknow who your friends are
As Emyou head off to the Cwar
DPick a star on the D7dark horizon
And Gfollow Dthe lEmight

EmNo need to sDay goodbEmye
You'll come Cback
