Intro:
B5 D5 C5 G5 D5 C5 D5 - 2x

Verse1:
D5                  C5
Today I walked down our old street
D5             C5
Past the diner where we'd meet
B5            G5              D5
Now I dine alone in our old seats

Verse2:
The cold wind blows right through my bones
And I feel like I'm getting old
But I wish I was getting old with you

Pre chorus:
B5           D5        B5       D5               B5 
I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain
B5   D5         B5         D5                 B5
She laughed as we picked out our children's names

Chorus:
B5         G5      D5                   C5           B5
  White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
      G5      D5                    C5                  B5
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray

B5 D5 C5 G5 D5 C5 D5 - 2x

Verse3:
Her clothes hang in the closet still
The phone sits on the windowsill
And every time it rings it gives me chills

Verse4:
My heart just stopped when I was told
Doctor, doctor, on the phone
Said my love was never coming home

Pre Chorus:
I hold your casket gently walking to the grave
Dark clouds eclipse the sun won't shine again

Chorus:
White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows cut the strings of my heart, I kneel and pray

Break:
B5             G5
They gave her one more day
D5                  F5
To say the words I couldn't say
D5                  G5
I'm crying in pain, crying in pain

D5                      C5
And I'm not looking for answers
D5                      C5
No, I'm not looking for answers
    B5         G5       D5         C5
But dear God, why did you choose her?

White sparrows fell from heaven and carried her away
Black arrows cut the strings of my
heart, I kneel and pray

They gave her one more day
To say the words I couldn't say
I'm crying in pain
Crying in pain

D5
Our love will remain
G5                  D5
I'm crying in pain
