[Verse 1]D
I cannot bare to believe
FBbG
that you have left this Earth
DF
I couldn’t stare as they covered
BbD
you up with dirt and left
D
With all the best intent
DBm
And all your eloquence
Bm
The price we paid to know you
[Bridge]GmG
- Your smile is stretching
from the stars
GmG
- I am still standing
here in solace
GmG
- I sense the writhing
GmG
- Peeling off your skin
GmG
- As the coals burn
GmG
- We’ll walk on fire
[Chorus]Gm
The lines you carved remain
D
Too many days to remember
D
Too many times have I tried
BmG
- The price we paid to know you
BmG
- The price we paid to know you
[Verse 2]DF
A dark shadow was cast
BbG
with your departure
DF
Now dig our way out from
BbG
this mudslide and survive
D
With all the best intent
DBm
And all your eloquence
Bm
The price we paid to know you

[Bridge]GmG
- Projecting light from beyond
GmG
- We stare until the
bruises soften
GmG
- Never will there
GmG
- Be another you
GmG
- As the Sun turns
GmG
- We hold you tighter
[Chorus]Gm
The final curtain calls
D
How many ways you brought
pleasure
D
How many nights you brought
to life
BmG
The price we paid to know you
BmG
The price we paid to know you
