Key: C

Introduction:

             C  
You put your hand on top of mine
                     G  
you're talking fast but talking blind
                  F                                                      C                    G  
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes
                C  
'cos death is slowly covering you
          G  
in galaxies of black and blue
          F                                                      C                         G  
and under your skin all his colors bloom
                                             Dm  
And you're only half here
                Am                 G                            Dm                 Am                 G  
like someone left a frail body and took the rest
                        C    F                    Dm  
But I remember when you were strong
  G                                                    C         F  
never wanted help from no-one
                Dm                                                 G  
what you've become is not who I remember
                                                                                                             G  
Is this the cooling of the embers?
                  C  
She's back again through summers past
                G  
the smell of rain and freshly cut grass
                                  F                                         C                                    G  
seems those ordinary days are the ones that last
             C  
Cos he was there, the one you loved
          G  
the one you never could let go of
                                  F                                                                    C                      G  
and there's something you know as you're looking up
                                          Dm  
That your only half here
                Am              G                              Dm                    Am                 G  
like someone left a frail body and stole the rest
                        C    F                    Dm  
But I remember when you were strong
  G                                                    C         F  
never wanted help from no-one
                Dm                                      G                                                  Em  
what you've become is not who I remember
                                  F                                                                                G  
Is this the cooling of the embers?
                                  Am                              F  
is this the cooling of the embers?
G                              Am                            F  
Cos you are not who I remember
G                                                      Am                                      F  
it's like you are a child, you are a child, you are a child once more
G                                      Am                                      F  
and all of our yesterday's have gone
             C  
You put your hand on top of mine
                     G  
you're talking fast but talking blind
                  F                                                      C                         G  
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes...
