Capo 4
The [D]pain of good[A]bye and the [G]teardrops in her eyes
Ain't [D]nothing to the first [A]long night in this [Em]empty house a[G]lone
The sweetest [D]times of a rom[A]ance will fill your [G]mind of last slow dance
Hold on [D]tight, will you [A]make her be the one that makes to [G]say it's all gone
And you [Gm]know it's all gone
Chorus:
The lights go [D]down, the charge is [Em]done, the battle is [G]over and the other side won
And it don't [D]help to know that [A]it ain't a matter of [G]trying
I hold you [D]close one last [Em]time, the cost of [G]love might be my mind
It hurts like [D]hell when you're [A]living in a love that's [G]dying
And you [Gm]know that it's all over but the [D]cryi[G]ng[D][G][D][G]
I remember everything we done and the nights when we were one
The silence comes, I can't imagine my life without you
Cause you got plans and I got mine, it's gonna take a long, long time
I hope someday I can smile and think how crazy I was about you
So crazy about you
Chorus
Bridge:
[G]I don't know the reason
And there's [Em]nothing to blame but time
And I've [G]looked into your eyes and they don't [Gm]lie
Chorus
