| INTRO: Riff A 2x's |
| w/ Riff A |
| If I could I surely would |
| Child ease your pain |
| But if I could no longer |
| Would you still know my name? |
| If I couldn't drain the tears |
| That pour from these eyes |
| D | Em | |
| Would you turn your | back on me |
| G | |
| Would you wave good bye |
| CHORUS; |
| Or leave me, |
| D | F#m | G | |
| Way beyond | empty in | side |
| Awaiting my last day to arrive |
| Way beyond empty inside |
| Awaiting my end to arrive |
| w/ Riff A |
| If I couldn't be the shoulder |
| Which your head would rest upon |
| would you still be waiting |
| Or would you be gone? |
| If I couldn't keep the smile |
| Forever on your face |
| D | Em | |
| Would I still | be around |
| G | |
| Or | would I be replaced? |
| CHORUS |
| Riff B |

| Oh Oh Oh |
| Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh |
| Oh Oh Oh |
| Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh (Just end on D) |
| Solo (D, F#m, G 4x) |
| Riff A 2x's |
| w/ Riff A |
| Would you promise me |
| That things would never change |
| Could you promise me |
| That things they'd stay the same |
| If I couldn't clear the clouds |
| From over your head |
| D | Em | |
| Would you keep your | word to me |
| G | |
| Amongst | all the things you said? |
| CHORUS |
| D, F#m, G until it fades out |
