Intro:  Gadd9  Cadd9  (2x) 
 
verse 1: 
 
Gadd9           Cadd9    
     Leaves are on the ground  
Gadd9         Cadd9    
     Fall has come  
Gadd9           Cadd9    
     Blue skies turning grey  
Gadd9   Cadd9    
     Like my love  
Gadd9           Cadd9    
     I tried to carry you  
Gadd9             Cadd9 
     And make you whole  
Gadd9           Cadd9     
     But it was never enough  
Gadd9           G/Bb 
     I must go  
 
 
 
    Em   D            C                 G     G/Bb 
And whooooo is gonna save you when I'm gone  
    Em   D                 C

     But hide it well  
Gadd9            Cadd9            G        G/Bb

And Fan your flame  
Em         C5                  G5

And whooooo 'll watch over you  
    Em  D               C                        G 
And I     will give you strength when you're not strong  
             Em       D             C 
Who'll watch over you when I'm gone away  
 
Ending: 
 
Gadd9        Cadd9 
     Snow is on the ground  
Gadd9         Cadd9         
     Winter's come  
Gadd9            Cadd9 
     You long to hear my voice  
Gadd9   
But I'm long gone
