VERSE 1:
[B] We were together since [A] we were five, she was so pretty
Emma was a star ^[A#] in [B] everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen, [A] nobody laughed
A face like an angel, she could ^[A#] be [B] anything

VERSE 2:
[B] At seventeen [A] we were wed
I'd work day and night, to earn our ^[A#] daily [B] bread
And every day Emma would go out [A] searching for that play
That never, ^[A#] ever [B] came her way

VERSE 3:
You know sometimes she'd come home, [A] so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room, ^[A#] feel [B] so distressed
And I'd remember back when [A] she was five
To the words that used to make, Emma-^[A#]-line [B] come alive, it was

[B] It was a cold and dark De-[A]-cember night
When I opened up ^[A#] the [B] bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold up-[A]-on the bed
A love letter lying on ^[A#] the [B] bedroom floor

VERSE 5:
It read: Darling I [A] love you
But I just can't keep on living ^[A#] on [B] dreams no more
I tried so very hard not to [A] leave you alone
I just can't keep ^[A#] on [B] trying no more
