[Verse]
Em G C D
So long to all my friends,
Em G C D
Every one of them met tragic ends,
Em G C D
With every passing day,
Em G C D
I'd be lying if I didn’t say,

That I miss them all tonight
C D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4
And if they only knew what I would say
[Chorus]
Em G C D
If I could be with you tonight
Em G
I would sing you to sleep,
C D
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
Em G C D
One day, I'll lose this fight
Em G C
As we fade in the dark, just remember
D Em Em
you will always burn as bright
[Verse]
Em G C D
Be strong, and hold my hand.
Em G C D
Time, it comes for us, you'll understand.
Em G C D
We'll say goodbye today,
Em G C D
And I'm sorry how it ends this way
C D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4
If you promise not to cry

If I could be with you tonight
Em G

Em G C D
I'll fail and lose this fight

Never fade in the dark, just remember

you will always burn as bright

The light behind your eyes...

Em G C D
If I could be with you tonight,
Em G
I would sing you to sleep,

Never let them take the light behind your eyes.

I've failed and lost this fight,
Em G
Never fade in the dark,
C D
Just remember you will always burn as bright.

This bit,
Sometimes we must grow stronger and
You can't be stronger in the dark.
When I'm here, no longer, you must be stronger, and ...
It should be, You can't be stronger when I'm gone ....
Great chords, though. The song sounds great!
