[F]There were people by the waterside,
[D]St[Gm]anding in the same place where I am today,

[F]There are those who can never cross,
[D]Th[Gm]e space between a father and a son,

[Gm]Bef[F]or[C]e they are lost.. forever
Verse 4:
[F]And I was looking at a photograph,
[D]Ta[Gm]ken from a window way above the world,
