(Eb)then my (Cm)world was (D)shattered.

(G)Wishing you were somehow here again,

(Bm7)somehow you (Em)would be (D)here.

(G)Wishing I could hear your voice again,

(Am)knowing that I never (D)would.

(C)Dreaming of (D)you won't (Bm)help me to (Em)do (Bm)all that you (Em)dreamed I (D)could.

(Gm)Three long years I've (Eb)knelt in silence,

(Cm)held your mem'ry (D)near me.

(Gm)Three long years of (Fm)murmured (Bb7)sorrows,

(Cm)knowing we must say (F)goodbye.

(F7)Try to forgive, (Dm)teach me to (Gm)live,

No more (Bb)memories, (F)no more (Eb)silent (F)tears,

no more (Bb)gazing (F)across the (Eb)wasted (F)years.

Help me (F7)say (Bb)goodbye.

Help me (F9sus)say (F)(Bb)goodbye!
