C
The future seemed dimmer and unbearably cold
     Am                                            F    G
The nights we learned there's a meanness in this world
             C
And it will find you
   C                  
I still recall the yellow flowers you held
    Am                                                 F   G
My room in the basement and the nights it rained like hell
           C
Until the morning

[Chorus]
 
C                  C/B                   Am
There is a line that sharply divides this
             G                   F
This great expanse of space and time
             G                   C    
With you on your side and me on mine
                     C/B                  Am
If this should be the last song I sing I'd
             G                 F
I'd like to tell you just one thing
       G
How I loved you desperately

[Interlude]

C Am (x2)

[Verse]

      C               
I'll rattle the screws loose on this hospital bed
Am                                                 F    G
Sickly and stirring from the things I should have said
             C
When I said nothing
C
I should have known you would have listened to me
      Am                                           F    G 
You'd save me from drowning in the secrets that I keep
                C        Em  F  G
You could have saved me

[Chorus]
 
C                  C/B                   Am
There is a line that sharply divides this
             G                   F
This great expanse of space and time
             G                   C  
With you on your side and me on mine
                      C/B                  Am
If this should be the last song I sing I'd
             G                 F
I'd like to tell you just one thing
       Am                 G
How I loved you, I still love you desperately
