[Intro]  Am  C  Dm  F  G
         C  Em  Dm  C/E  F  G
         Am

Em                      D/F#  G
There was a time when I could make your bright eyes gleam
D                             Em                 D
Now smiles upon your face are few and far between
Em                  D/F#    G
We were so young, naive and blind in all our pride
D                G D/F#    Em      D      Em    D
To see the war - ning, the turning of the tide

C                                G
And I guess it's best we laid to rest
                                Am
All that we had and all that we hoped for
     Gsus4             G
It's time to close the door

Am                        C
Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
        Dm                           F              G
Through fields once green, where our garden used to grow
C                        Em
Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one
    Dm                      C/E
Too long we stared into the sun
    F                G                  Am
Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run

F#m                     E/G#       A
Now that we've lost the flame, the beauty of it all
E                       F#m             E
Our symmetry of souls reduced to metaphor
F#m                    E/G#       A
We live, we learn some things are impossible to do
E                    F#m                E
And still I need you more than I want to

D                                A
But I guess it's best we laid to rest
                                Bm
All that we had and all that we hoped for
     Asus4             A
It's time to close the door

Bm                        D
Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
        Em                       G              A
Through silent fields, where our garden used to grow
D                        F#m
Life goes by so fast and time waits for no one
    Em                      D/F#
Too long we stared into the sun
    G                A                  Bm
Now days are growing dark and we're too tired to run

D                                           A
I could've been worse, but I should've been better
                                       Bm
Should've been there 'cause I said "forever"
Now I'm here wondering what
G
Should've, could've, would've been and

D                                          A
I could've said more 'cause the words they matter
                                           Bm
Should've been strong so you wouldn't have shattered
But I'm here wondering what
G
Should've, could've, would've been

D                               A
And I hope he gives more than I did
                                   Bm           Asus4   A
All that you need and all that you hope for

C#m                       E
Stand here by my side and watch the river flow
        F#m                      A              B
Through silent fields, where our garden used to grow
E                        G#m
Life goes by so fast, so hold me one last time
       F#m
You'll always be true love of mine
    A               B                    E
And when the day is through I'm watching over you
