VERSE 1:
[G#] We were together since
[F#] we were five, she was so pretty
Emma was a star ^
[G] in
[G#] everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen,
[F#] nobody laughed
A face like an angel, she could ^
[G] be
[G#] anything
CHORUS:
Emmaline, Emma,
[F#] Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high
on ^
[G] that
[G#] silver screen
Emmaline, Emma,
[F#] Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star
this world ^
[G] has
[G#] ever seen

VERSE 2:
[G#] At seventeen
[F#] we were wed
I'd work day and night, to earn our ^
[G] daily
[G#] bread
And every day Emma would go out
[F#] searching for that play
That never, ^
[G] ever
[G#] came her way
VERSE 3:
You know sometimes she'd come home,
[F#] so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room, ^
[G] feel
[G#] so distressed
And I'd remember back when
[F#] she was five
To the words that used to make, Emma-^
[G]-line
[G#] come alive, it was

VERSE 4:
[G#] It was a cold and dark De-
[F#]-cember night
When I opened up ^
[G] the
[G#] bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold up-
[F#]-on the bed
A love letter lying on ^
[G] the
[G#] bedroom floor
VERSE 5:
It read: Darling I
[F#] love you
But I just can't keep on living ^
[G] on
[G#] dreams no more
I tried so very hard not to
[F#] leave you alone
I just can't keep ^
[G] on
[G#] trying no more
