VERSE 1:
[C#] We were together since [B] we were five, she was so pretty
Emma was a star ^[C] in [C#] everyone's eyes

VERSE 2:
[C#] At seventeen [B] we were wed

VERSE 3:
You know sometimes she'd come home, [B] so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room, ^[C] feel [C#] so distressed

To find her lying still and cold up-[B]-on the bed
A love letter lying on ^[C] the [C#] bedroom floor

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