C#m
The leaves they fall
               A            F#m
upon the day that makes a memory
those pleading eyes,
             ( E )      B              
echoing, silently in me

C#m
the final nights
               A            F#m
I guard her sleep, I can do without
the fear's down deep
                         ( E )           B              
There's nothing good in this morning...

Abm/Ab                  A
        Oh, and I know...
              E                     Abm          C#m
invested feelings in the one I would outlast
A       E             Abm           C#m
My little friend is getting tired, fading fast...

B                      C#                         Ebm    C#                         
Did not want to see the signs of the dimming flame
B                     C#          Ab
I need to have more time

(No, I don't want to let you go)
B                      C#                         Ebm   C#                         
Tonight I fear I'll say goodbye to my little friend
B                     C#         
Don't want to let you go...

Abm 
  the warmest heart I've found
Ebm 
 I lower into the ground
B  
my tears, forever with you
F#  
resting under your tree

Abm
you have always liked this place
Ebm 
it now belongs to you...
B  
I need to set you free
B
and go on alone

Gm                  Dm
one day in my feeble timeline
( Gm / Bb )?                     Bb
You gave me your heart and stole mine
Gm                  Dm                    ( Gm / Bb )?       
tomorrows came too fast for me
                   Bb                    Am
to hear your slow, silent goodbye...

(Silence)
Am  G  E  F  G 
(Band enters)
Am  G  E  F  G 

Dm                         
  the kindest heart I've found
Am
  I lowered into the ground
F  
  your smile kept me alive
C 
 back when the skies were still

Dm
  you always liked this place
Am
  now sleep under the tree
F
  I planted here the day
F
  when you were born

F  G  Am  G  F  G  D  D  F  G  Am  G  F  G  

F                           G                  Am         G
I should've been ready, seen the nearing end
F             G               D         ( G )
my little old friend, a child.
F                           G                Am             G
That day I had to say goodbye and turn the bend
F                   G                           A  
but I'll never let go
