I was there

Years before you were born

Take your time

Live the rest of your life

Chorus 1
Abmaj9
When I saw
Gbmaj7
You there
In her arms
Bbm
In the hospital
Dbadd#11
Unwashed
And asleep for the first time
Abmaj9
Something in the way
Gbmaj7
You were
Made it so
Bbm
Never cutting loose

Never leave
Never go

verse 2
F7
And I was there
Gbmaj7
I was on your mind
When you left for the first time
Abmaj9 Gbmaj7
In sutured city lights
F7
Through you hide,
Gbmaj7
This place doesn't lie
You can't leave it behind
Abmaj9
The one you can't deny
F7 Gbmaj7
Leaving what you yearn
Abmaj9 Gbmaj7
Pining for return
F7 Gbmaj7
Reaching like thee arms
Abmaj9 Gbmaj7
Piercing where you are

Abmaj9
When I saw
Gbmaj7
You there
Lying down
Bbm
On a foreign bed
Dbadd#11
Undone
And alone for the first time
Abmaj9
Something in the way
Gbmaj7
You cried
For return of the winter
Bbm
Torrid like the pulse
Dbadd#11
From the heart
From the core

Chorus 3
F7 Gbmaj7
When I saw you there
Ab(add6)
The day
Gbmaj7
That you died
F7 Gbmaj7
With the visions that you bear
Ab(add6)
Left you grey,
Left you weak,
Gbmaj7
Left you scared,
Like a child
F7 Gbmaj7
Something in the way
Ab(add6)
You ran
Gbmaj7
As you lie
F7 Gbmaj7
Burning matter like a gun
Ab(add6)
As I leapt
Gbmaj7
From the eyes
