Estrofe 1: 
 
F#m D 
Where's the navigator of your destiny 
A E B 
Where is the dealer of this hand 
F#m 
Who can explain 
D 
Life and its brevity 
A 
'Cause there is nothing here 
E B 
That I can understand  
D 
You and I  

A/E 
Have barely met  
F#m Bm E D/F# 
And I just don't want to let go of you yet 

 
Refrão: 

E/G# D/F# C#m F#m 
No - ah, hello, good-bye 
E D E A 
I'll see you on the other side 
E/G# D/F# C#m F#m 
No - ah, sweet child of mine  
E D E A 
I'll see you on the other side 

 
Estrofe 2: 

F#m D 
And so I hold your tiny hand in mine 
A E B 
For the hardest thing I've ever had to face 
F#m 
Heaven calls for you 
D 
Before it calls for me 
A E B 
When you get there save me a place 
D A/E 
A place where I can share your smile 
F#m Bm E D/F# 
And I can hold you for more than just awhile
