[Verse 1]
C          G                   Am   F
Today your face became a silhouette
C         G             Am     F
A blurry pattern in my mind
C         G
Unwanted amnesia
      Am        G         F
They say that things get easier
F      G                C
But I miss you all the time

[Verse 2]
C          G             Am      F
I find no therapy in cigarettes
C    G                Am     F
And yet I smoke them still
C        G
A self-imposed slow death
   Am       G       F
Is all I'm craving since you left
F           G              C
But what i really want to say

    C        G             Am   F
Is precious love don't go away
            C          G
I need you more than I have
              Am    F
the heart to say
             C
I don't know how or why
    G
But I would die
   Am          F
A broken man without you my

[Verse 3]
C       G            Am         F
Give a penny to the celebrant
C         G              Am    F
Eyes are covered by the veil
C         G
A wooden box goes down
     Am     G        F
And all we have lies in the ground
F        G                  C
And who said that love prevails

[Chorus]
 C        G             Am    F
Precious love don't go away
            C          G
I need you more than I have
              Am    F
the heart to say
             C
I don't know how or why
    G
But I would die
   Am          F
A broken man without you my
C         G             Am   F
Precious love don't go away
          F
Don't go away

C           G
Today your face became
   Am          F
a silhouette
C         G                 Am  F
I told myself that I don’t mind
C               G
But words like that won’t help
      Am         G        F
Cause you can’t tell lies to
yourself
F        G                C
Cause I miss you all the time
