The Simplest Things

C   Am   F   G

[Verse 1]

C            Am              F           G
Here, in the dark, where our sorrows lay sleeping
C               Am              F           G
Here, where the night holds the dawn in its keeping
    C            Am       F             G
And time carries on, on a song, at its fancy
C           Am             F            G
Resigned to reclaim all it granted

[Verse 2]

    C        Am              F      G
For life, in itself, finds a way of unfolding
    C          Am           F          G
And love, on a shelf, isn't much to be holding
    C        Am            F              G            C
But I walked away from the heart that you held in your hand
       Am       F           G     C
Walked away without knowing

[Verse 3]

    C             Am         F       G
And so, it's been told, over seasons forgone,
         C              Am      F               G
That the night's always darkest just before the dawn
   C               Am              F                       G          C
My dear, though it seems, that the simplest things are the hardest to see

[Bridge]

    Fm                  C
The tears will come and go
    Fm                     C
And hearts, they change, I know
    Fm                   C               F    G
But if you love me, then I won't let you go

[Verse 4]

C            Am              F           G
Here, in the dark, where our sorrows lay sleeping
C               Am              F           G
Here, where the night holds the dawn in its keeping
C        Am            F              G            C
I walked away from the heart that you held in your hand
       Am            F                           G            C
Like a child, walked away from the love that you held in your hand
