[Intro]
C Am G F

[Verse 1]
        C
On the day you went away from me
     Am
I remember all the little things
           G
When you held my hand and
              F
said I'll be OK
         C
I can still feel you in everything
        Am
Every movie, every song they play,
       G
every time I hear your name I pray
      F
The rain

[Chorus]
                         C
It's a little too quiet now
                      Em
And it's harder everyday
                                  Am
I'll stand in the storm till the world
             G              F
is gone to keep you in my dreams
                         C
It's a little too quiet now
                            Em
And no time can heal this pain
                                Am
I'll stand up to god like I'm super
         G
man to keep you close to me
                    C   Am G F
It's a little too quiet

[Verse 2]
         C
I can still feel you in everything,
       Am
every night brings back the memories
          G
When I close my eyes you
                 F
wave goodbye to me

[Chorus]
                         C
It's a little too quiet now
                      Em
And it's harder everyday
I'll stand in the
                  Am
storm till the world
              G               F
is gone to keep you in my dreams
                         C
It's a little too quiet now
                           Em
And no time can heal this pain
                                Am
I'll stand up to god like I'm super
         G                F
man to keep you close to me

It's a little too quiet now
