Em D/F# G
When the time comes

That you're no longer there

Fall down to my knees

Begin my nightmare

Slow down little one
Am G D
You can't keep running away

Standing at the edge of your town

With the skyline in your eyes

Reaching up to god

The sun says its goodbyes

Suddenly nightime has begun

The surface of the earth
