[Verso 1]
D 
I will remember you 
       A 
In the way you'd want me to 
         G                               D 
But it's hard to come to terms right now 
D 
Sunset looked today 
         A 
As if it knew you'd gone away 
         G                                 D 
Now it's night, I hear the rain crash down 


[Pré-Refrão]
        G                                 Bm 
Oh, I'd cry, but this is more than just my pain 
    A                            G 
Oh, I could be a shoulder, not a burden 
         G                             Bm 
And it's time for me to call your son again 
    A 
And say 

 
[Refrão]
   D 
She was the starlight in darkness 
    A 
She was the first bloom in spring 
  G 
An angel with a smile like electric light 
G                    A 
All the time hit her wings 
    D 
She was the birdsong in morning 
        A 
But now everything here has changed 
        G            Bm 
All the world's less beautiful 
A                      D 
Since you've been away 


[Verso 2]
D 
I will remember you 
           A 
With white wine by the barbecue 
       G                                 D 
On New York at the birthday do, downtown 
D 
All that comes to mind 
       A 
When I think about the time 
     G                           D 
Is a memory of laughin' out loud 


[Pré-Refrão]
      G                                 Bm 
Oh, I wish, that I could take the pain away 
    A                   G 
And just talk to him in person 
         G                             Bm 
But it's time for me to call your son again 
    A 
And say 


[Refrão]
    D 
She was the starlight in darkness 
    A 
She was the first bloom in spring 
  G 
An angel with a smile like electric light 
G                    A 
All the time hit her wings 
    D 
She was the birdsong in morning 
        A 
But now everything here has changed 
        G            Bm 
All the world's less beautiful 
A                      G 
Since you've been away 


[Ponte]
     D                  A 
This doesn't make sense 
       Bm      A          G 
I wish I could change it, but 
  D           A     G 
I can't do anything 
  D                A 
My heart is racin' 
       Bm      A      G  D   A 
And my soul is aching, lover 


[Refrão]
She was the starlight in darkness 

She was the first bloom in spring 

An angel with a smile like electric light 

All the time hit her wings 
    D 
She was the birdsong in morning 
        A 
But now everything here has changed 
        G            Bm 
All the world's less beautiful

         G            Bm 
Hey, the world's less beautiful 
A                      D 
Since you've been away
