Intro: Ab-Eb-Db (x3) Bbm-Db-Eb
Ab Eb Gb Db
From the moment I arrived, until the day that I died,
Ab Eb Gb Db
I was selfish and slow, too slow to ride by your side,
Ab Eb Ab Db Fm Bb
But I was so afraid that I began to fade,
Ab Eb Db
Now another bright has turned to gray,
Ab Eb Db
And someone else’s light will take my place,
Ab Eb Db
And though I’m getting used to the aftertaste,
Bbm Db Eb
You know I miss your eyes, I miss your face.
Ab Eb Gb Db
And when the sun went dead, and the moon was up ahead,
Ab Eb Gb Db
I finally figured out what I should have said to you then,
Ab Eb Ab Db Fm Bb
And no one is to blame, but we’ll never be the same,
Ab Eb Db
Now another bright has turned to gray,
Ab Eb Db
And someone else’s light will take my place,
Ab Eb Db
And though I’m getting used to the aftertaste,
Bbm Db Eb
You know I miss your eyes, I miss your face.
B Gb B
There’s no use in trying, I can’t be what I was,
Ab Eb-Ebmaj7-Db-Ab-Bb
I can’t be what I was.
Ab Eb Db
Now another bright has turned to gray,
Ab Eb Db
And someone else’s light will take my place,
Ab Eb Db
And though I’m getting used to the aftertaste,
Ab Eb Db
And though I’m getting used to the aftertaste,
Ab Eb Db
Although I’m getting used to the aftertaste,
Bbm Db Eb Ab
You know I miss your eyes, I miss your face.
