VERSE 1:
[F] We were together since
[D#] we were five, she was so pretty
Emma was a star ^

A face like an angel, she could ^

[F] anything

[F] At seventeen

And every day Emma would go out
[D#] searching for that play
That never, ^
[E] ever
[F] came her way
VERSE 3:
You know sometimes she'd come home,
[D#] so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room, ^
[E] feel

To the words that used to make, Emma-^
[E]-line
[F] come alive, it was

[F] It was a cold and dark De-
[D#]-cember night

To find her lying still and cold up-
[D#]-on the bed
A love letter lying on ^
[E] the
[F] bedroom floor
VERSE 5:
It read: Darling I
[D#] love you
But I just can't keep on living ^
[E] on

I just can't keep ^
[E] on
[F] trying no more
