   There you stood on the edge of your feather,    expecting to fly,
A                   Em                   D                       E   A
   While I laughed, I wondered whether...   I could wave good - bye-----,
   D                   G
Knowing... that you'd gone------!


Am7                D7               G                      C
     By the summer it was healing,     we had said good - bye,
Am7                       D7                G               C
     All the years we'd spent with feeling,    ended with a cry,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                C
Babe-----,          ended with a cry,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                A       Asus2   A        Asus2
Babe-------,        ended with a cry-----!      | /  /  /   /  |


A              Em                     D                       E     E4  E
   I tried so hard to stand, as I stumbled, and fell to the ground, 
A              Em                       D                      E     A
   So hard to laugh as I fumbled, and reached for the love I found------,
   D            G
Knowing it was gone-----!


Am7             D7                G                    C
     If I ever lived without you,     now you know I'd die,
Am7             D7                G                    C
     If I ever said I loved you,     now you know I'd try,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                    C
Babe-----,          now you know I'd try,
Cmaj7        Gmaj7                    C   Cmaj7    G
Babe-----,          now you know I'd try, Babe---------!
