D                           F        Bb        G
I cannot bare to believe that you have left this Earth
  D                      F                   Bb       D
I couldn’t stare as they covered you up with dirt and left
     D
With all the best intent
    D            Bm
And all your eloquence
    Bm
The price we paid to know you


[Bridge]
Gm              G
- Your smile is stretching from the stars
Gm           G
- I am still standing here in solace
Gm            G
- I sense the writhing
Gm                 G
- Peeling off your skin
Gm             G
- As the coals burn
Gm                 G
- We’ll walk on fire


[Chorus]
                         Gm
The lines you carved remain
D
Too many days to remember
D
Too many times have I tried
Bm                     G
- The price we paid to know you
Bm                     G
- The price we paid to know you


[Verse 2]
  D               F         Bb        G
A dark shadow was cast with your departure
    D               F             Bb       G
Now dig our way out from this mudslide and survive
     D
With all the best intent
    D           Bm
And all your eloquence
    Bm
The price we paid to know you


[Bridge]
Gm           G
- Projecting light from beyond
Gm           G
- We stare until the bruises soften
Gm           G
- Never will there
Gm           G
- Be another you
Gm           G
- As the Sun turns
Gm                 G
- We hold you tighter


[Chorus]
                  Gm
The final curtain calls
D
How many ways you brought pleasure
D
How many nights you brought to life
Bm                   G
The price we paid to know you
Bm                   G
The price we paid to know you
