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

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

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

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

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