Play it in standard (EADGBE) or Drop D (DADGBE). Which ever sounds better to you.
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em
Never feared for anything
Em
Never shamed but never free
  G                D
A life to heal the broken heart
     Bm          C
With all that it could
 
Em
Lived the life so endlessly
Em
Saw beyond what others see
  G                  D
I tried to heal your broken heart
     Bm         C
With all that I could
 
[Bridge]
C
Will you stay
D
Will you stay away forever?
 
[Chorus]
Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
Am                                Em/G       D
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burned
Em                     G
Place and time, always on my mind
  Am                                C    D
I have so much to say but you're so far away
 
[Verse 2]
Em
Plans of what our futures hold
Em
Foolish lies of growing old
    G              D
It seems we're so invincible
    Bm          C
The truth is so cold
 
Em
A final song, a last request
Em
A perfect chapter laid to rest
G              D
Now and then I try to find
    Bm          C
The place in my mind
 
[Bridge]
C
Where you can stay
D
You can stay awake forever
 
[Chorus]
Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
Am                                Em/G         D
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burned
Em                    G
Place and time always on my mind
  Am                                C     D
I have so much to say but you're so far away
 
[Verse 3]
E
Sleep tight
     C
I'm not afraid (not afraid)
    Am                    Em/G         D
The ones that we love are here with me
E
Lay away
  C
A place for me (place for me)
          D
'Cause as soon as I'm done
           C
I'll be on my way
    D
To live eternally
 
[Solo]
E  C  Am  Em/G  D
E  C  D  C  D
 
[Chorus]
Em                        G
How do I live without the ones I love?
Am                                Em/G          D
Time still turns the pages of the book, it's burned
Em                    G
Place and time always on my mind
        Am
And the light you left remains
          C         D
But it so hard to stay
      Am                                C     D    Em
And I have so much to say and you're so far away
 
[Solo] 3:30

[Outro]
Em
I love you
D
You were ready
Am         G       D/F#       Em    D    C
The pain is strong and urges rise
Em
But I'll see you
D
When He lets me
Am           G          D/F#     Em    D    C
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
 
Em D     C   Em         D             C
So far away      (And I need you to know)
Em D     C   Em         D                    C
So far away      (And I need you to need you to know)

Hey. The Chords are perfect. Here are the lyrics though, to help you out. I got them straight from the book thing in the CD so they should be accurate. Never feared for anything Never shamed but never free A light that healed a broken heart With all that it could Lived a life so endlessly Saw beyond what others see I tried to heal your broken heart With all that I could Will you stay Will you stay away forever How do I live without the ones I love Time still turns the pages of the book its burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Plan of what our futures hold Foolish lies of growing old It seems we're so invincible But the truth is so cold A final song, a last request A perfect chapter laid to rest Now and then I try to find A place in my mind Where you can stay You can stay awake forever How do I live without the ones I love Time still turns the pages of the book its burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Sleep tight I'm not afraid The ones that we love are here with me Lay away a place for me 'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way To live on eternally How do I live without the ones I love Time still turns the pages of the book its burned Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains but its so hard to stay When I have so much to say and you're so far away I love you, you were ready The pain is strong and urges rise But I see you when it lets me Your pain is gone, your hands untied So far away I needed to know So far away and I need you to know ...and that should do it. Hopefully I don't seem all obnoxious correcting the lyrics. I just wanted to help. And thank you for taking the time to post the Chords for those of us who can't, or don't wanna figure them out for ourselved.

Pretty good song. I don't understand why everyone is so picky about the lyrics since it's a guitar sight but, I have a question. It says a D chord, and a D/F#....but, shows the same exact thing when you look at the Chord Diagrams. So whats the difference? Why not just put D?
