[Intro 1]
[D][Am][Dsus4][Am][D][Am][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
Look [D]at the candle,
as it's life is [Am]bought,
as the wick just rolls [A]of [Am]and [D]dies;
look at [A]the wax-drops [Am]as as
[A]they cease from their [D]goal
and the [Am]game they [G]were
playing loses its [D]joy
and the [Am]youth which they [G]played
in [Bm]run s[G] a[D]way....
How [A]long will [Em]you be gone?
[A][Am][D]

[Verse 2]
Flames sucks at air now and
its breath comes [Am]short
as it wavers to half its size;
vacuum closes in and it
[A]attacks [D]the [G]soul.[D]
Now [Am]the force omni[G]potent
itself is [D]destroyed
an[G]d for [Am]lack of it[G]self it wanes [D]away....
How [A]long will [Em]you be gone?
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
So does my mind fly as I fight my [Am]thought -
and I lose, for I [F]can[D]not [Am]find:[D]
sent [Am]my eyes[F] long mi[Am]les,
they do not know [D]home!
For [Am]the life I was [G]part of breathes it[D]s last
and [Am]not only l[G]ife,
but hope has [D]gone away....
How [A]long will [Em]you be g[A]one?[D]
How [A]long will [Em]you [A]be g[D]on[A]e[Em][A][D]
