[Intro] ADD
[Verse 1] AC#mDA
If I never see your face again DF#mBmE
Or sunlight come to grace a dawn AC#mDA
Our passion’s work would not take flight DF#mBmEAAsus4
Our strivings cease, our glory gone
[Verse 2] AC#mDA
If I never kiss your lips again DF#mBmE
Or talk of love, or dream of youth AC#mDA
I’d walk my empty years alone DF#mBmEA
With this heart of stone I’d hold for you
[Chorus] F#mEE7DE
They gave me a ticket on a one-way journey F#mBmDE
But you offered me a same price return F#mBmDE
I’ve never seen a flower that didn’t shed its seed AEAAsus4
To rise in spring out of the ground
