[Verse 1]

She went ^Dout and found Her fa^Ather face down on the g^Ground Out in the c^Aold

[Verse 2]

She walked her ^Dway around A h^Aill with the sun sinking ^Gdown Into the^A snow

[Verse 3]

All the w^Emhitec^Gaps of the ^Dwaves s^Alap Like last h^Emand c^Glaps And the ^Adark water dies in a ^Emcrash Is sucked back with a ^Dmoan And the smoke on the c^Aoast

[Verse 4]

Oh, piled f^Emathers Soft, sighing d^Gaughters ^A Where does it ^Emgo? ^G ^A

[Instrumental] D [Verse 5]

It's a ^Ddream, now I'll d^Aescribe Let your mind drift on ^Gdown, like ^Aso

What a ^Dway down What a r^Aide, what a slide spin-ar^Gound What a life to have ^Aknown

[Verse 9]

[Verse 10]

And when the ^Emlight^Ghouse Lending us sigh^Dt finally went ^Aout What a f^Emright we ^Gfelt In that n^Aight

[Verse 11]

Friends just shout it ^Emout All the whys and do^Dn't knows All the cries in o^Aur throats And how r^Emight we fe^Glt

[Verse 12]

With our eyes tightl^Dy closed Holding something we b^Aroke And then whimpering ^Emsisters Sobbing w^Gell-wishers It's o^Aver

[Outro]

Just let my hand ^Dgo
