Em (022000@1)                      Em (022000@1) Never feared for anything
                             Em (022000@1) Never shamed but never free
    G (320003@1)                   D (xx0232@1) A laugh that healed the broken heart
       Bm (x24432@1)        C (x32010@1) With all that it could

Em (022000@1)                        Em (022000@1) Lived the life so endlessly
                            Em (022000@1) Saw beyond what others see
    G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1) I tried to heal your broken heart
       Bm (x24432@1)       C (x32010@1) With all that I could

C (x32010@1) Will you stay?
  D (xx0232@1) Will you stay away forever?

Em (022000@1)                      G (320003@1) How do i live without the ones i love?
  Am (x02210@1)                              Em (022000@1)           D (xx0232@1) Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
  Em (022000@1)                  G (320003@1) Place and time always on my mind
    Am (x02210@1)                              C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1) I have so much to say but you're so far away

Em (022000@1)                             Em (022000@1) Plans of what our features hold
                              Em (022000@1) Foolish lies of growin' old
     G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1)         Bm (x24432@1)        C (x32010@1) It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold

Em (022000@1)                          Em (022000@1) A final song, a last request
                                 Em (022000@1) A perfect chapter laid to rest
  G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)           Bm (x24432@1)        C (x32010@1) Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

C (x32010@1) Where you can stay
  D (xx0232@1) You can stay awake forever

Em (022000@1)                      G (320003@1) How do I live without the ones i love?
  Am (x02210@1)                              Em (022000@1)           D (xx0232@1) Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
  Em (022000@1)                  G (320003@1) Place and time always on my mind
    Am (x02210@1)                              C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1) I have so much to say but you're so far away

E (022100@1)              C (x32010@1) Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
      Am (x02210@1)                    Em (022000@1) The ones that we love are here with me
  E (022100@1)        C (x32010@1) Lay away a place for me
            D (xx0232@1)                          C (x32010@1) 'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way
     D (xx0232@1) To live eternally

Solo lyrics:
I love you
You were ready
The pain is strong enough to despise
But I'll see you
When He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

So far away
And I need you to know

So far away
And I need you to, need you to know...
