🎸 Verse 1:
A minorAm
I was thinking of leaving
A minorAm                 G+G
With the world placed firmly at my feet
         DmDm
Nothing left to gain
         FF
Nothing left to give you
A minorAm
If I could simply stop breathing
A minorAm               G+G
Maybe then the ache would go away
         DmDm
Nowhere left to run

Nothing left to run from

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
FF             G+G
When you looked me in the eyes
           A minorAm         G+G   FF  FF
How could I've known that that'd be your final goodbye?


🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm      A minorAm
How is it fair I must live this life
  G+G         FF
Without your infinite light and guidance?
A minorAm      A minorAm               G+G
How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
        DmDm         FF
And now we all live in the shadow of it


🎸 Verse 2:
A minorAm
In your slumber, you've shown me
A minorAm                  G+G
All the little things that you're deprived
         DmDm           FF
Of every single thing that I took for granted
A minorAm
Now, I sit here in mourning
A minorAm                  G+G
Knowing that you left while you were lost
         DmDm
And now I'm petrified
            FF
Of leaving before I belonged
      G+G
My entire life is shrouded now
   A minorAm          G+G      FF
That death's black wing eclipsed your sunshine
FF             G+G
And if I have to live for you

In spite of all
  A minorAm         G+G     FF
The pain that I might feel that I go through
    FF
That's something that I swear to do

🎸 Chorus:
A minorAm      A minorAm
How is it fair I must live this life
  G+G         FF
Without your infinite light and guidance?
A minorAm      A minorAm               G+G
How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
        DmDm         FF
And now we all live in the shadow of it


🎸 Bridge:
G+G                 A minorAm
There is beauty in any loss that teaches you a lesson
     FF                  FF
All the beautiful friends we leave behind without ever forgetting
G+G                     A minorAm
Though life will move without you, I will never move along
  FF                 FF
If this is my last chance to sing you to sleep
