Capo 3 


       C 
When I say that I love you, 

   G                          Am                             G 
I guess what I mean is that I love you like a home I have to leave        
        F                       C 
And I'm thinkin how nothing can stay  
        F                       
How the sun stains the curtains  
         C            G 
And the paint flakes away  
           F                         C      G 
But it'll always be home, till the memory fades  
    F                      G           C 
I love you, thanks for the golden age  



       C 
When I say that I'm grateful  
   G                          Am                             G   
I guess what I mean is how the sapling is grateful for the seed  
        F                       C 
And I'm thinking how all things change  
        F                       
How the branches grow tall  
         C            G 
But our initials remain  
           F                         C      G 
I'll remember you well when the summer is gone  
    F               G               C 
Another year another ring round my bones  



       C 
When I say that I'll miss you  
   G                          Am                             G 
I guess what I mean is that I'll miss you like autumn misses spring  
        F                             C 
And I've been thinking how everything dies  
        F                             C            G               
Like the reds and the blues on their way cross the sky  
         F                      C                G 
And the sunset explodes when it knows that it's time  
         F        G          C 
Before hello, sometimes goodbye  

Kiss me once more  
Then leave me forever  
I know I'm too heavy to hold  
Grab both my hands  
Kiss me like you mean it  
And I'll never know you again  

When I say that I love you I guess what I mean is  
There's a Power that moves everything  
And it pushes the river to sea  
And it takes all the years and makes regret into peace  
you can't die alone, if you are free  
You didn't mean to, but thank you for showing me
