[Verse 1]
Cadd9/G
 My love has gone behind the sun
D9/A
 Since she left, the darkness has begun
Fmaj13/C
 The smile that used to shine on me
G6/B
 Is nothing more than a memory.


[Verse 2]
Cadd9/G
 I see her face, I hear her voice.
D9/A
 She made her move, I had no choice
Fmaj13/C
 But walk and cry, wipe tears with my hand,
G6/B
 The one that carries a wedding band.


[Bridge]
        Em7         Am7
And the clouds hang low
        Dm           Csus2   G/B
And the flowers that used to grow
      F         C/E   D/F#
In my heart are dying now
F G    [ Cadd9/G ]
  Dying now.
