Capo II 
E F#m E F#m E F#m 
   
    E       B               F#m 
The pain of goodbye and the teardrops in her eyes 
      E                         B             F#m         A 
Ain't nothing to the first long night in this empty house alone 
             E            B                    F#m 
The sweetest times of a romance will fill your mind of the last slow dance 
        E               B                      F#m 
Hold on tight, will you make her be the one to say it's all gone 
        Am 
And you know that it's all gone 

Chorus: 
              E                   F#m                 A 
The lights go down, the charge is done, the battle is over and the other side won 
             E                 B                    F#m 
And it don't help to know that it ain't a matter of trying 
           E              B                 F#m 
I hold you close one last time, the cost of love might be my mind 
              E                B                       F#m 
It hurts like hell when you're living in a love that's dying 
        Am                              E  F#m E F#m E F#m 
And you know that it's all over but the crying 

I remember everything we done and the nights when we were one 
The silence comes, I can't imagine my life without you 
Cause you got plans and I got mine, it's gonna take a long, long time 
I hope someday I can smile and think how crazy I was about you 
So crazy about you 

Repeat Chorus: 

E F#m E F#m E F#m 

Bridge: 
A 
I don't know the reason 
            F#m 
And there's nothing to blame but time 
         A                                    Am 
And I've looked into your eyes and they don't lie 

E F#m A Am 

Repeat Chorus: 

E F#m E F#m E F#m
