[INTRO ]G D
verse 1
G D
Minutes seem like hours
C D
And hours they seem like days
G D
When the ones you want are missing
C D
And they've gone their separate ways
C G Em D
Walking in a sunny garden empty like the moon
C G
And birds that once could fly so high
Em D
Now sing a different tune
verse 2
G D
Walking in the park
C D
The leaves are turning now it's fall
G D
The time has come for leaving
C D
In their eyes that says it all
C G
Pictures on the mantle
Em D
Tell the tales of better times
C G Em
Moments from a long long time ago
D
When things were fine
[Refrão]
D G
One fine day
C D
When the wild birds return
D Em
We'll look back and say
C D
What a lesson in life I've learned
verse 3
G D
So light a broad wick candle
C D
In the window make it bright
G D
You need to find your way home
C D
In the dark and deepest nights
C G
And if you're lost and homeless
Em D
In some lonely city zone
C G
Just follow back that winding road
Em D
That leads you back on home
