D Am There you stood on the edge of your feather G A Expecting to fly D Am While I laughed, I wondered whether G A D I could wave goodbye G C Knowin' that you'd gone Dm G By the summer it was healing C F We had said goodbye Dm G All the years we'd spent with feeling C F Ended with a cry Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F Babe, ended with a cry Fmaj7 Cmaj7 D Babe, ended with a cry D Am I tried so hard to stand G A As I stumbled and fell to the ground D Am So hard to laugh as I fumbled G A D And reached for the love I found G C Knowin' it was gone Dm G If I never lived without you C F Now you know I'd die Dm G If I never said I loved you C F Now you know I'd try Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F Babe, now you know I'd try Fmaj7 Cmaj7 F Babe, now you know I'd try Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Babe
