Chord transcription by Cameron Taylor, comments, corrections etc. <hastings@hitech.net.au> 13-Nov-1997
Em Am D
I stretch my hands, clutch vacant laughter
Bm Em
in silence and sweet, sweet pain;
Em Am D
without demand, but with a longing
Bm Em
for what will never come again.
I smell your perfume on the sheets in the morning
it lingers like the patterns on the window after rain
a past that lives, if only for the present..
which is gone and will never come again.
Bm F#m
To your sad eyes, turned away, mine say
B A B A Em
'Do you? Did you? How?'
Bm F#m
As the darkness slides away the day
B A B A Em
shows what was and makes what is now.
I see your picture as though it were a mirror
but there's no part of you outside the frame
except the change that you gave to me
this will never come again.
Em Am D
I am me, I was so before you,
Bm Em
but afterwards I am not the same.
Em Am D
You are gone and I am with you
Bm Em D
this will never come again.
Bm Em D
This will never come again
Bm Em
this will never come again
In verse 1 the chords Em Am and D are prefaced with the notes E G
