Intro: Am Em C G C
Verse:
Am Em
Now I see winter's dawn
C G C
The wind turns traitor cold
Am Em
Seems long since summer time
C G C
And the stories that were told
Am Em
We spoke of dreams that came
C G C
To us when we were young
Am Em
But as the morning rose
C G C
We spoke with forked tongues
[Refrão]
Dm G
My love is a fleeting one
Dm G
My man could be anyone
C F Dm G
And our love is a setting sun
Verse:
Am Em
As we took those evening walks
C G C
Down through the graveyard
Am Em
Those names engraved always
C G C
Put a new shade to my thoughts
Am Em
But he and I, we both knew
C G C
The bread that we break
Am Em
Would never take their place
C G C
What's cold, you mustn't await
[Refrão]
Dm G
My life is a fleeting one
Dm G
My work is just a web I've spun
C F Dm G
Oh my life is a setting sun
Bridge:
Em Am
I don't know where I'm going
C Em
But no one is coming with me
Em Am
I won't give up chasing love, son
C Em
Here I go, look at me run
F
Here I go
G
Look at me run
F
Here I go
G
Look at me run
[Refrão]
Dm G
My love is a fleeting one
Dm G
My man could be anyone
C F Dm G
And our love is a setting sun
Dm G
My life is a fleeting one
Dm G
My work is just a web I've spun
C F Dm G
Oh my life is a setting sun
End Verse:
Am Em
Baffled by the lies we blamed
C G C
We met the end too soon
Am Em
I was honest when I told you
C G C
We're as cryptic as the moon
