White sparrows
Billy Talent

Kapo 1. fret

Intro:
Bb Dm C G Dm C Dm - 2x

Verse1:
Dm                  C
Today I walked down our old street
Dm             C
Past the diner where we'd meet
Bb           G              Dm
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:
Bb          Dm        Bb      Dm               Bb 
I held your hand when we took shelter from the rain
Bb  Dm         Bb        Dm                 Bb
She laughed as we picked out our children's names

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

Bb Dm C G Dm C Dm - 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:
Bb            G
They gave her one more day
Dm                  F
To say the words I couldn't say
Dm                  G
I'm crying in pain, crying in pain

Dm                      C
And I'm not looking for answers
Dm                      C
No, I'm not looking for answers
    Bb        G       Dm         C
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

Dm
Our love will remain
G                  Dm
I'm crying in pain
