Fm                     Fm
 Since your death everything has
                         Bbm
 felt so meaningless and vain

That I've lost the will to live

 Love, your death ripped my heart
                               Bbm
 right out and since you went away
           Db
Life's had nothing more to give

Across the dark, into the light

 me into your arms once more?

Where our waters still fall free
