Am Am Am Am

[Verse 1]
Am
I was thinking of leaving
Am                                  G
With the world placed firmly at my feet
                  Dm
Nothing left to gain
                 F
Nothing left to give you
Am
If I could simply stop breathing
Am                             G
Maybe then the ache would go away
                 Dm
Nowhere left to run

Nothing left to run from


[Pre-Chorus]
F                         G
When you looked me in the eyes
                      Am                  G      F    F
How could I've known that that'd be your final goodbye?


[Chorus]
Am            Am
How is it fair I must live this life
    G                  F
Without your infinite light and guidance?
Am            Am                             G
How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
               Dm                 F
And now we all live in the shadow of it


[Verse 2]
Am
In your slumber, you've shown me
Am                                   G
All the little things that you're deprived
                 Dm                     F
Of every single thing that I took for granted
Am
Now, I sit here in mourning
Am                                    G
Knowing that you left while you were lost
                  Dm
And now I'm petrified
                        F
Of leaving before I belonged
           G
My entire life is shrouded now
     Am                    G           F
That death's black wing eclipsed your sunshine
F                         G
And if I have to live for you

In spite of all
    Am                 G          F
The pain that I might feel that I go through
       F
That's something that I swear to do


[Chorus]
Am            Am
How is it fair I must live this life
    G                  F
Without your infinite light and guidance?
Am            Am                             G
How is it fair you had no choice of when you left?
               Dm                 F
And now we all live in the shadow of it


[Bridge]
G                                  Am
There is beauty in any loss that teaches you a lesson
          F                                   F
All the beautiful friends we leave behind without ever forgetting
G                                          Am
Though life will move without you, I will never move along
    F                                 F
If this is my last chance to sing you to sleep


[Instumental]

G Am F F x2

[Outro]
G                                  Am
There is beauty in any loss that teaches you a lesson
          F                                   F
All the beautiful friends we leave behind without ever forgetting
G                                          Am
Though life will move without you, I will never move along
    F                                 F
If this is my last chance to sing you to sleep
     G               Am  F        F
Then let this be my mourning song
