I remember joy and pain
Her smile, her tears are part of me
I feel I'll never breathe again
I feel life's gone from me
[repeat chorus]

All the days and all the nights

Are time just passing by
Dm Em
And all the dreams I'm dreaming now

I feel so cold, I'm on my own
As the night folds in around me
Night surrounds me, I'm alone

Chorus [a capella]:
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
After he's gone
She'll come back, love me again

Chorus:
(no guitar in this part that I could hear...
this arrangement encompasses the piano and bass, you can play
the sus4's if you want to account for the backing vocals as well.
it sounds just fine if you don't play the sus4's. This does not
suggest the rhythm; listen to the song for that...each chord is one beat.)

(chorus)
Outro: (vocal and backing vocal only)
Maybe after he's gone, she'll come back, love me again
After he's gone, she'll come back, love me again (end cold)
There is some guitar playing in the last chorus playing
single notes occasionally. It's hard to hear, but I'm guessing
it's just playing the chords.
