Eb              Bb
Ever since I've seen your face
Ab
This life of mine has gone to waste
Eb              Bb
I was young and you were old
Ab
And I always knew you were cold

Eb               Bb
At the start you had a heart
Ab
But in the end you lost your friend
Eb               Bb
Can you see your own dark face?
Ab
It's dying in a lonely place


[Chorus]
Eb        Bb              Ab
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
       Eb         Bb              Ab
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you

[Verse]
Eb                Bb
As we get old, we lose our place
Ab
Reflecting back the world's disgrace
Eb                Bb
I feel so low, I feel so humble
Ab
Sometimes in life we take a tumble
Eb        Bb                    Ab
Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good
Ab
Cause you know they would
Eb        Bb                    Ab
Don't let anybody tell you what you should do
Ab
Cause it's not that way and...

[Chorus]

Eb        Bb              Ab
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
Eb                Bb              Ab
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
Eb                Bb
We were young and we were pure
Ab
And life was just an open door
       Eb            Bb              Ab
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you

[Verse]

Eb              Bb
You were me and I was you
Ab
This world of ours it felt brand new
Eb       Bb  Ab
You took me a little further...
Eb                     Bb
I heard it all before, I've heard it all before
Ab
I can't hear it anymore
Eb                  Bb
Your hair was long, your eyes was blue
Ab
Guess what I'm gonna do to you

[Chorus]

Eb        Bb              Ab
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
       Eb         Bb             Ab
I said, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
Eb                Bb
We were young and we were pure
Ab
And life was just an open door
       Eb            Bb          Ab
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought...

Eb        Bb              Ab
Oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you
       Eb              Bb                        Ab
I said oh, oh, how I cannot bear the thought of you

Eb              Bb
We were young and we were pure...
