INTRO: Riff A  2x's

w/ Riff A
If I could I surely would
Child ease your pain
But if I could no longer
Would you still know my name?

D                 A            G
If I couldn't drink the tears

That pour from these eyes
D                               A
Would you turn your back on me
G
Would you wave good bye

CHORUS;

Or leave me,
D                  A                 G
Way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my last day to arrive

Way beyond empty inside

Awaiting my end to arrive


w/ Riff A
If I couldn't be the shoulder

Which your head would rest upon

would you still be waiting 

Or would you be gone?


D                 A               G
If I couldn't  keep the smile

Forever on your face
D                   A
Would I still be around
G
Or would I be replaced?

CHORUS

Riff A 2x's

w/ Riff A 
Would you promise me
That things would never change
Could you promise me
That things they'd stay the same

D                 A               G
If I couldn't  clear the clouds

from over your head
D                                 A
Would you keep your word tom me
G
Amongst all the things you said?

Oooo
Oooo

Free time a it fades out
