In my time
        C           G
I have seen far too much
          C          G
I've seen more than enough
      C             D ..
Of My share in this world

 .. | D | D | C ..

...       G
And in my day
           C           G
I've seen friends fade away
         C             G
And I've heard people say    
           C        D              
There's no trust anymore

Am             C               G          D 
  You wouldn't take Me as Your lover, and I know
Am           C        G   
  There's no way to recover 
     D               Am ..
The love that You've lost

.. | Am | C | C ..

...     G
I don't know
        C             G
How to help You this time
     C         G
If I try to be kind
          C      D
You just turn on Me

.. | D | D | C ..
 
...        G
But I have found
        C             G
That I don't need the pain
         C          G
That You used to sustain
         C             D ..
That You say keeps You free

Am             C               G          D 
  You wouldn't take Me as Your lover, and I know
Am           C        G   
  There's no way to recover 
     D               Am ..
The love that You've lost..

Am            C            G 
  It's just a dream that I had
       D       Am 
It was so very sad
             C       G
It's just a memory I kept
           D        Am
But it's a death I accept
              C             G
It's just the face that You hid
          D         Am
It's the thing You undid
              C         G
It's just the best of a friend
         D           Am ..
It's the rest of the end

.. | Am | C | C ..

...       G
I'll come back
         C          G  
To this place once again
       C             G
But I just can't say when
        C              D ..
I don't know if that's right

...     G
Travel down
       C           G
On the way to St. Cloud
         C          G
It will bring You around
        C            D ..
By the time it gets light
