intro*: 
      A5      C5      D5      E5      (x4) 
verse 1: 
    A5             C5    D5             E5          A5 
      Leaves fall     in the cool October air 
              C5      D5        E5             A5 
      Days grow short     and I can't remember where 
              C5    D5         E5                 A5 
      I saw you last     turned against the summer light 
            C5   D5            E5           F5 
      Walking off     on that final August night 
            F5          F5            F5        C5 
      I was there     on my knees, all alone

           A5         D5                 F5                C5 
      In a world     where nothing ever stays the same 
           A5        D5            F5            C5 
      I am left     with only things I cannot change 
             A5     D5             F5             C5      C5 *  
      You've gone  away  and left me things I cannot change

verse 2: 
     A5               C5      D5          E5            A5 
      Smoke will rise     and the fire always burns 
               C5       D5                E5                 A5 
      Sands will drift     and tides will turn and I can't wrestle 
             C5   D5           E5                  A5 
      with the sea     rearrange the sky or fight 
                C5       D5       E5             F5 
      against the wind     any more than I can bring 
      F5      F5   F5            C5 
         you back     to me 

Refr?o -------------
           A5         D5                 F5                C5 
      In a world     where nothing ever stays the same 
           A5        D5            F5            C5 
      I am left     with only things I cannot change 
             A5     D5             F5             C5      C5 
      You've gone  away  and left me things I cannot change 
         A5       D5              F5              C5 
      So far  away  and left me things I cannot change
