1. A sign of time, I lost my life, forgot to die,

D

like any man, a frightened guy,

F G

I‘m keepin‘ memories inside of wounded love.

Am Em

2. But I know, I‘m more than sad and more today,

D

I‘m eating words too hard to say,

F G

a single tear and I‘m away, away and gone.

C Em

I need you, so far from hell, so far from you,

D

‘cause heaven‘s hard and black and gray,

F G Am

you‘re just a someone gone away, you never said goodbye.

Why, lover why ? Why do flowers die ?

3. Every time I hear your voice you hurt my name,

D

you build the fire and wet the flame

F G

I swim for life and take the rain no turning back.

C Em

I need you, so far from hell, so far from you,

D

‘cause heaven‘s hard and black and gray,

F G Am

you‘re just a someone gone away, you never said goodbye.
