Verse:
Em
All the stories my father told
C
They spoke of your golden heart
Em
Now the air in the room is cold
C
As your memories fall apart

Pre-chorus:
Em
(You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming
C

(You only remember that)
D
Once all the clocks stop running
Em
(We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
C
And words I never said
D
(Words I never said)

Chorus:
       Em          D       C
Give me strength to see you weak
              G               D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
             Em          D          C
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
              G               D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave

Verse:
Em
You've been claimed by your suffering
C
Sinking deeper in your pain
Em
If you made a recovery
C
Could you ever be the same?

Pre-Chorus:
Em
(You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming
C
(You only remember that)
D
Once all the clocks stop running
Em
(We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
C
And words I never said
D
(Words I never said)

Chorus:
       Em          D       C
Give me strength to see you weak
              G               D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
             Em          D          C
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
              G               D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave

Bridge:

Like you used to with me

I tower over your hospital bed

Like you used to...

'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
             Em          D          C


I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
