            C#            
The evening winds are still
C7        F               Bbm7 
I've lost the way and will
                              Abm7 
can't tell you where they went
       Bbm7
I just know what they meant
           Eb    
I'm always on my guard
                    Abm        
Admitting life is - hard 
C#6   F#
Without    you near me

Abm            C#m       Ab7
The friend you used to be
            F          Bbm7     
so near and dear to me
          Eb7          Ab 
you slipped so far away
      C#m6            Bbm
where did we go astray
             Eb
I passed the old school yard
Bbm7                Abm
admitting life is - hard
C#6   F#             
without - you near me

B                Bb7
  Ever since the day
Ebm                    Eb7
  the day you went away
Abm                C#6
  Well I felt that emptiness
F#
  so wide
B                     Bbm7
  I don't know what's wrong or right
Ebm                  Ebm7          Abm
But I know I need strength to fight
            Bbm7
strength to fight that world - outside

Abm              C#m         C
Since we've been out of touch
  Ebm     F 
I haven't felt that much
Bbm      Eb7          Ab
From day to barren day
   C#m                  Bbm    
My heart stays locked away
          Eb        Bbm7
I walk the boulevard
                    Abm
admitting life is - hard
C#6   F#7             
without - you near me
Abm        C#m
The sun is sinkin low
C7           F7        Bb7      
I guess it's time to go
         Eb7           Abm    
I feel a chilly breeze
   C#6                   Bb7       
In place of - memories
              Eb     Bbm7 
My dreams are locked and barred
Bbm7                Abm  C#
admitting life is – ha-rd
F#7
without - you near me
B Bb7 Ebm Eb7 Abm 
Mmm mmm mmm
       C#           F#   
without - you near me
