[Intro]
D  A  Bm  G

[Verse 1]
D
Red light glow of autumn leaves,
    A
The love in your heart,
other people breath,
    Bm             G
The let up your window.

[Verse 2]
    D
And green as the tears
I held inside,
      A
Still dream of your memories
every night,
    Bm               G
You are my soul, the world.

[Pre-Chorus]
Em                       G
When I look up I can’t believe it,
                            D
I’m so lost I don’t want to hear it,
                       Bm
And that you’re really gone,
Em
You’re the brightest star
          G
I see you shining,

So much stronger than
        D
me it’s blinding,
             A
Love forever young.

So many things I wish to say,

The night I’m chasing

Sweet is the memory of your voice,
   A
It keeps me warm and gives me hope,
    Bm                G
And helps me fill the void.

[Verse 4]
    D
And when it gets dark and
the lights go out,
  A
I know you’d be here and
wait for me,
     Bm                G
Your heart lives on in me.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – A – Bm – G (I – V – vi – IV in D major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
