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

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

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

B minorBm  F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
  As selfish as it may seem,
           D MajorD
I need you here with me.


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

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

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

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


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


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


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

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


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