song for adam Jackson Browne
[Am]Though Adam was a [G]friend of mine [F]I did not know him well
He was [C]alone into his [Am]distance [G]he was [F]deep into his well
I could [C]guess what he was [Am]laughing [G]at but [F]I couldn't really tell
Now the [Am]story's told that [G]Adam jumped but [F]I'm thinking that he [Am]fell
[Am]Together we went [G]traveling as [F]we received the call
His [C]destination [Am]India, and [G]I had [F]none at all
Well I [C]still remember [Am]laughing [G]with our [F]backs against the wall
[Am]So free of fear [G]we never [F]thought, that one of us might [Am]fall
[F]I sit before my only [C]candle but it's [F]so little light to find my [C]way
Now this [F]story appears before my [Am]candle which is [C]shorter every hour
as it [G]reaches for the day. Well I [Am]feel just like a candle in a [C]way
I guess I'll [F]get there but I wouldn't [C]say ... [F]for sure...
[Am]When we parted [G]we were laug[F]hing still as our goodbyes were said
And I nev[C]er heard from him [Am]again as [G]each our [F]lives we led
except [Am]for once in [G]someone else's [F]letter that I read
[Am]Until I heard [G]the sudden [F]word that a friend of mine was [Am]dead
[F]I sit before my only [C]candle like a [F]pilgrim sits beside the [C]wave
Now this [F]journey appears before my [Am]candle as a song that's growing [C]fainter
the harder I play [G]well I fear before I [Am]am I'll fade a[G]way
I guess I'll [F]get there but I wouldn't [C]say ... [F]for sure...
[Am]Though Adam was a [G]friend of mine, [F]I did not know him long
And [C]when I stood [Am]myself beside [G]him, I never thought I was as strong
still it [C]seemed he stopped his [Am]singing in the [G]middle [F]of his song
well I'm [Am]not the one to [G]say I kn[F]ow but I'm hoping he was [Am]wrong
[F]I'm holding out my only [C]candle though it's [F]so little light to find my [C]way
now this [F]story's been laid beneath my [Am]candle and it's [C]shorter every hour
as it [G]reaches for the day, yes I [Am]feel just like a candle in a [G]way
I hope I'll [F]get there but I'll never [C]pray
