Lament Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The choice was m[Dm]ine,
and mine [Am]com pletely
I could [F]have any [G]prize that I de[Dm]sired
I could [Am]burn with the [F]splendor
of the [C]brightest [Eb]fire
Or [F]else, or [G#]else I could choose [Am]time

[Verse 2]
[Am]Remember [Dm]I was very yo[Am]ung then
And a [F]year was [G]forever and a [Dm]day
So what [Am]use could [F]fifty, sixty, [C]seventy [Eb]be?
I [F]saw the lights, an[G#]d I was on my [Am]way

[Verse 3]
And how I [Eb]lived, [Am]how they shon[Eb]e
But how [F]soon the lights were [Am]gone[F]
[C][Eb][F][G#]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
The choice was [Eb]yours
and noone else's
[Am]You can cry for a body
in des[Eb]pair
Hang your head because she is
no longer [F]there
To shine, to dazzle, or betray
How she lived, how she shone
[Dm]But how soon[C][G#][F][Fdim]
[E]the [Am]lights were gone

[Verse 5]
Eyes, hair, face, [E]image
All must be preserved
[Am]Still life displayed [E]forever

[Outro 1]
No less than she deserved.
[E][Am]
[Dm][Am]
