Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][G][A]
[G][A]
[G][A]

[Verse 1]
We [A]were together
since we [G]were five
She was so pretty
Emma was a star in every
[A]one's eyes
And when she said she'd
be a movie queen
[G]Nobody laughed
A face like an angel
She could be any[A]thing

[Verse 2]
[A]Emmaline
Emma, [G]Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high
on that silver [A]screen
Emmaline
Emma, [G]Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star
this world has [A]ever seen
[G]

[Verse 3]
[A]
At seventeen we [G]were wed
I'd work day and night
To earn our [A]daily bread
And every day Emma would go out
Search[G]ing for that play
That never, ever [A]came her way
You know sometimes she'd come home
[G]So depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room
Feel [A]so distressed
And I'd remember back when she [G]was five
To the words that used to make
Emmaline [A]come alive
It was :
"Emmaline,
Em[G]ma, Emmaline,
I'm gonna write your name high
on that sil[A]ver screen.
Emmaline,
Em[G]ma, Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world
has [A]ever seen."

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
[A]It was a cold and dark
Decem[G]ber night
When I opened up the bed[A]room door
To find her lying still and cold
Upon [G]the bed
A love letter lying on the bed[A]room floor
It read :
"Darling I love [G]you,
But I just can't keep on living
on dream[A]s no more.
I tried so very hard not to [G]leave you alone.
I just can't keep on trying
[A]no more."
