Em    G    Em   G    Em


[Verse 1]

G                    C       G    Em
You bloomed like the rose of summer
      C        Am    D
And I held you in my arms 
Em                    G        D
And in that knowing I found purpose 
    C            D   Dsus4  D
We walked on the stars
    G              C      G     Em
The world changes, we get older 
     C                  Am       D
What comes in love must leave in pain
Em                   G      D
And all the gifts we early treasure
    C           D  Dsus4  D  
The world takes away. 


[Chorus]

    C        D    Dsus4
The years we shared 
G                            Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
    C                          D  Dsus4 
But the traces of our greatest days 
          G          C     D
Will fade away 


[Verse 2]

G             C         G      Em 
From the pier the ships are leaving
     C       Am       D
The seeds to saplings grow 
Em             G       D
Saplings first turn to forests 
     C        D   Dsus4   D
Then ships of oak
G               C           G     Em
Fair winds blow through the journey
      C         Am    D
And I watch you from afar 
Em         G       D
Sailing on distant oceans 
C          D   Dsus4  D  
Of eternal calm.
 

[Chorus]

    C        D    Dsus4
The years we shared 
G                            Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
    C                          D  Dsus4 
But the traces of our greatest days 
          G          C     D
Will fade away 


[Chorus]

    C        D    Dsus4
The years we shared 
G                            Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
    C                          D  Dsus4 
But the traces of our greatest days 
          G          C     D
Will fade away                     


[Break]

C  D   G  Em  C  D  G  C  D

C  D   G  Em  C  D  G  C  D  Dsus4


[Bridge]

C           D
When it all started, 
G            Em    D
it came like poetry 
C            D     G           C   D   G
A vision our truth awakened


[Chorus]

    C        D    Dsus4
The years we shared 
G                            Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
    C                          D  Dsus4 
But the traces of our greatest days 
          G          C     D
Will fade away               


[Chorus]

    C        D    Dsus4
The years we shared 
G                            Em
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
    C                          D  Dsus4 
But the traces of our greatest days 
          G          C     D
Will fade away
