Em7     G       Cadd9     D
    So long to all my friends,
      Em7      G        Cadd9 D
Every one of them met tragic ends,
Em7      G     Cadd9   D
   With every passing day,
        Em7   G    Cadd9  D
I'd be lying if I didn’t say,
        Cadd9      D    Dsus4D    Dsus4
                     -    -    -   
That I miss them all tonight
             Cadd9    D    Dsus4D    Dsus4
                        -    -    -    
And if they only knew what I would say
   Em7      G       Cadd9 D
If I could be with you tonight
         Em7          G
I would sing you to sleep,
       Cadd9             D
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
Em7      G         Cadd9     D
    One day, I'll lose this fight
       Em7         G            Cadd9
As we fade in the dark, just remember
         D                Em7    G     Cadd9 D
you will always burn as bright
Em7         G         Cadd9   D
     Be strong, and hold my hand.
          Em7      G          Cadd9  D
Time, it comes for us, you'll understand.
Em7         G       Cadd9 D
     We'll say goodbye today,
           Em7   G      Cadd9     D
And we're sorry how it ends this way
         Cadd9    D    Dsus4D    Dsus4
                    -    -    -    
If you promise not to cry
        Cadd9        D    Dsus4D    Dsus4
                       -    -    -    
I will tell you just what I would say
  Em7      G       Cadd9 D
If I could be with you tonight
         Em7          G
I would sing you to sleep,
       Cadd9             D
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
Em7      G         Cadd9     D
    One day, I'll lose this fight
       Em7         G            Cadd9
As we fade in the dark, just remember
         D
you will always burn as bright
Cadd9 D
           The light behind your eyes...
Cadd9 D
           the light behind your...
Em7                D
     Sometimes we must grow stronger and
Cadd9                G
     You can't be stronger in the dark.
Em7                  D       Cadd9                 D
     When I'm here,      no longer, you must be stronger, and
   Em7     G        Cadd9 D
If I could be with you tonight,
         Em7          G
I would sing you to sleep,
       Cadd9             D
Never let them take the light behind your eyes.
Em7         G         Cadd9     D
     I've failed and lost this fight,
       Em7         G
Never fade in the dark,
        Cadd9          D
Just remember you will always burn as bright.
Cadd9 D
