Guitar chords with lyrics

Chorus:

G                   D        Em                    Bm
Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away.
C             D       C           D
I wonder why it never happens for me.
G                 D            Em         Bm
It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day.
C            D       C            G
Why you had to go is a mystery to me.


Verse:
G               D            Em     Bm
What seemed important then becomes trivial when
C           D       C              D
Fate deals the card that forces your hand.
G               D              Em            Bm
All the places we'd been, all the things we had seen,
C                D      C            G
No more in the future; it just isn't planned.

Verse:
G          D              Em              Bm
It's all very strange, but when you went, I changed.
C               D               C             G
It just seemed to happen with the passing of each day.
G        D              Em         Bm
I don't understand. Is it part of a plan?
C           D          C             G
Does one person grow when another fades away?


Chorus:
G                   D        Em                    Bm
Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away.
C             D       C           D
I wonder why it never happens for me.
G                 D            Em         Bm
It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day.
C            D       C            G
Why you had to go is a mystery to me.


Verse:
G               D           Em          Bm
Small things you'd do weave pictures of you.
C                 D          C           D
They're printed for life on the back of my mind.
G            D            Em            Bm
I was always so sure. Your life was so pure.
C              D               C             G
To the faults and to bad times a loved one stays blind.


Instrumental:

G  D  Em  Bm  C  D  C  G


Verse:
G           D           Em           Bm
I always found that when you were around,
C              D             C            D
You helped me with worries and eased all my fears.
G           D            C            Bm
You always had time for problems of mine,
C            D         C          G
A shoulder to cry on, a listening ear


Chorus:
G                   D        Em                    Bm
Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away.

It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day.
C            D       C            G
Why you had to go is a mystery to me.

Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away.
C             D       C           D
I wonder why it never happens for me.
G                 D            Em         Bm
It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day.
C            D       C            G
Why you had to go is a mystery to me.
