G           
life as we know it has come to an end
    C
a suburban catastrophe
       G
it's time to start mourning the death of a friend
       C
who's standing in front of me

       G
and I can't stop the hatred that wells up inside
       C
as I look for a glimmer in his vacant eyes
       G
and I can't do a damn thing 'cause I can't feel a damn thing
       C
with a hole in my heart that's a thousand miles wide


            Em        D/F#       G
'cause the smile has left his face
       Em           D/F#                C
the portrait of happiness he can't retrace
 Em           D/F#      A
gone is the love that once lived there
       C
it's cold as a stone, cold as a stone


      G
it's laid out before him with trembling hands
         C
but the parts don't seem to fit
         G
and the 34 winters haven't left him as cold
         C
as this one conversation did


        G
and I don't understand with eyes open wide
        C
why you see love so clearly but it still leaves you blind
        G
and I can't do a damn thing, 'cause I can't say a damn thing
        C
and I can't stop this woman from pushing him aside


             Em       D/F#     G
'cause the smile has left his face
     Em           D/F#        C
the portrait of happiness he can't retrace
Em           D/F#      A
gone is the love that once lived there 
      C
it's cold as a stone, cold as a stone
