[Verse 1]
[Em]I was thinking of leaving
With the world placed firmly
at my [D]feet
Nothing left to gain,
nothing left to give you
[Em]If I could simply stop breathing
Maybe then the ache would go [D]away
Nowhere left to run,
nothing left to run [C]from

[Verse 2]
When [C]you looked me in the [D]eyes
How could I have known that,
[Em]that would be your [D]fi [C]nal goodbye?

[Em]How is it fair I must live this life
[D]Without your infinite light
[Am]and guid[C]ance?
[Em]How is it fair you had no
choice of when you [D]left?
And now we all [Am]live in the shadow [C]of it
In [Em]your

[Verse 4]
slumber, you've shown me
All the little things that you're de[D]prived
Of every single thing that I
took for [Em]granted
Now, I sit here in mourning
Knowing that you left while you were [D]lost
And now I'm petrified of
leaving before I be[C]longed
My entire [D]life is shrouded now
That [Em]death's black wing ec
[D]lipsed your [C]sunshine
And if I have to live for [D]you
in spite of all
[Em]The pain that I might [D]feel
that I [C]go through
That's [Em]something that I [D]swear to do
[Em]How

[Verse 5]
is it fair I must live this life
[D]Without your infinite light
[Am]and guid[C]ance?[Em]
How is it fair you had no
choice of when you [D]left?
And now we all [Am]live
in the shadow [C]of it
[D]There

[Verse 6]
is beauty in any loss
[Em]that teaches you a lesson
[C]All the beautiful friends we leave
behind without ever forgetting
[D]Though life will move without you,
I will never [Em]move along
If [C]this is my last chance to sing you to

There is beauty in [D]any loss

All the [C]beautiful friends we leave
