VERSE:
 D
Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl.
    G
She was absolutely perfect in an imperfect world.
  D
Forever`s a promise, it`s more than just a word.
    G
They meant it to each other, of that they were sure.
     D
He came home to her crying at the top of the stairs.
      G
He asked, `baby what`s the matter?` as he pushed back her hair.
     D
She said honey I`m sick.
           A
What the hell did I do?

     G            D
And with hate in his heart, he screamed at the moon.


CHORUS:
  D               G
Please don`t take her away from me,
          D         G  Bm
She truly is everything, that I have left.

Bm  F#m        A
  As selfish as it may seem,
           D
I need you here with me.


VERSE:
 D
Day after day, he stood by her side,
               G         D
While Sleepless in Seattle, played through his mind.

 D
Forever seems longer when you`ve got your whole life,
          G               D
But forever is forgotten where the end draws the line.

      D
She said `honey just listen, listen to me,
G                    D
We should be together in a boat on the sea.`

  D
He held back his tears, and spoke quietly,
     G                 D
`When I picture forever, it`s you here with me.`


CHORUS:
 D               G
Please don`t take her away from me,
          D         G  Bm
She truly is everything, that I have left.
Bm   D         A
  As selfish as it may seem,
           D
I need you here with me


CHORUS:
   D              G
And please just let her go painlessly.
             D
Let her drift on in her dreams.
               G  Bm
Just don`t make her feel a thing.
Bm    D         A
  Just try and get some sleep.
             D
This angel deserves her wings.


BREAK:
   D          G
As leaves fall from the trees,
         Bm
She became a memory,
            Bm  G
To a man who lost everything-ing.

  D           G
Forever doesn`t mean anything.
            Bm
Just a promise that we take.
               G
But there`s hope for you and me.


OUTRO:
   D             A     D
She looked to the sky and with one final breath,
    F#          G     D
Said `take this heart from out of my chest.
 D
Carry it far with the love you possess.
   G              D
I`m sorry my boy, but I tried my best.
