E        C Am (4x)
Em       C Am (4x)


Em
   A tale of falling leaves
C             Am
   A sense so kind
Em
   A touch of tender silence
C             A
   A peace of mind


Em       C Am (2x)


Em
   You fill my every need
C            Am
   Endure my lies
Em
   You lead me when I'm going
C                 A
   Through cloudy skies


[Chorus]
G              D
   It's in the words you say
Em              C
   How you keep me from falling
G              D
   And how you live the day
Em             C
   It makes me whole
G             D            Em      C
   And in the times that I dwelt alone
G                     D             Em     C
   You were there for me to take me home


Em       C Am (2x)


Em
   The years have passed and so
C             Am
   We grew as one
Em
   Blessed with your endless Love
C              A
   My time has come

Em
   My hands are slightly trembling
C             Am
   My mind astray
Em
   You guard my side until
C           A
   My dying day


[Chorus]
G              D
   It's in the words you say
Em              C
   How you keep me from falling
G              D
   And how you live the day
Em             C
   It makes me whole
G             D            Em      C
   And in the times that I dwelt alone
G                     D             Em     C
   You were there for me to take me home


Em
Take my hand
          C     A
Open your eyes
A         E
Starlight shines
E
Revealing my
Em         C     A
My guiding light
A
Take me there


[Solo]
E Em C Am
Em Em C A


Em
You try to hide the tears from me
                         C        Am
But baby don't you be afraid
Em
The story that we shared was good
                           C            Am
And not a single tear will take the joy away
Em                                                    C
Not even sorrow nor goodbye can bring our everlasting love
   A      Em   C   Am
In decay
Em             C   Am
In decay...


E
Take my hand
E
Free your mind
E
Take me there
          C       A
Starlight shines
          E
Revealing my
E
Guiding light
E
Standing guard
C             A
Follow me wherever I go
