E A D A B
E A D A
E
Now it's getting colder
A
My hands chilled to the bone
E
I watch your breath and trace it's steps
A
as it mingles with my own
E
Lake is almost frozen
A
The grass is silver hair
E
The wind is high in the blue sky
E
I wish that I could care
<for bridge, pound on B for 4 bars>
E
I recall when we were younger,
A
we shared the streets of home
E
spoke of our dreams and soaring schemes
A
of places we would go
E
If I stay around much longer
A
I'll never leave again
E A
I have to move, I cannot stay
E A
Believe the voice that tells me leave it
(chorus)
E A E A E
(all behind me)I know that I, I know that I am wrong
A E A E
(all behind me)I'll never leave now, it has been too long
<bridge>
B B B B
And...
Now I'm getting older,
I still can't find the words
To empathize with what's inside,
express the way I feel
Now I'm getting older,
it's easier to hide,
To run away, don't have to stay
betray the voice that tells me leave it
(play chorus once, then:)
E A E A E
(all behind me)I know that I, I know that I am wrong
A E A E
(all behind me)I'll can't escape now, it has been too long
