Verse 1:

C
Lying here in bed
Em
With things we never said
C            Em
You’re always the first to sleep
C
I whisper my goodbye
Em
To all the happy lights
Am           G
Wrapped around our ugly tree

Pre-chorus:

F
Come sunrise
Dm
Your soft eyes
C                Em
Will frown at my footprints in the snow
F
Come New Year
   Dm
You’ll know dear
         F     G
I led you down a short line


Chorus:

           C
And I'm so sorry Caroline
        G    F
The more you became my hope
        Em   G
The more I was made to let you go
Am   G    F
We lost our fight for time
      G      C
And I'm so sorry Caroline
        G    F
I’ll try not to wake the house
        Em   G
I wish I could stay and hold you now
  Am   G      F
We lost our fight for time
Dm
For life
    F            G
And some things that never came true
      C
For me and you


Verse 2:

C
December ‘85
Em
Grandchildren arrive
C            Em
Pride can be a lovely thing
C
Everything I've missed
Em
Reminds you of that Christmas eve
Am           G
When life was caving in


Pre-Chorus 2:

F
Come sundown
Dm
This small town
C                Em
Looks a bit like the place we fell in love
F
Come New Year
Dm
You'll know dear
         F     G
I led you down a short line


Chorus:

           C
And I'm so sorry Caroline
        G    F
The more you became my hope
        Em   G
The more I was made to let you go
Am   G    F
We lost our fight for time
      G      C
And I'm so sorry Caroline
        G    F
I’ll try not to wake the house
        Em    G
I wish I could stay and hold you now
  Am   G      F
We lost our fight for time
Dm
For life
    F            G
And some things that never came true
      C
For me and you


Pre-Chorus 3:

F
Come twilight
Dm
This long ride
C                Em
Is moving towards the afterglow
F
Come New Year
Dm
You'll be here
         F     G
With me on the short line


Chorus:

           C
And I'm still sorry Caroline
        G    F
The more you became my hope
        Em   G
The more I was made to let you go
Am   G    F
We lost our fight for time
      G      C
And I'm so sorry Caroline
        G    F
I’ll try not to wake the house
        Em    G
I wish I could stay and hold you now
  Am   G      F
We lost our fight for time
Dm
For life
    F            G
And some things that never came true
      C
