INTRO: Riff A 2x's
w/ Riff A
If I could I surely would
Child ease your pain
But if I could no longer
Would you still know my name?
D A G
If I couldn't drink the tears
That pour from these eyes
D A
Would you turn your back on me
G
Would you wave good bye
CHORUS;
Or leave me,
D A G
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my last day to arrive
Way beyond empty inside
Awaiting my end to arrive
w/ Riff A
If I couldn't be the shoulder
Which your head would rest upon
would you still be waiting
Or would you be gone?
D A G
If I couldn't keep the smile
Forever on your face
D A
Would I still be around
G
Or would I be replaced?
CHORUS
Riff B (sounds close enough to me)
