Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

When I say that I love you,

I guess what I mean is that I love you like a home I have to leave

And I'm thinkin how nothing can stay

How the sun stains the curtains

And the paint flakes away

But it'll always be home, till the memory fades

I love you, thanks for the golden age

When I say that I'm grateful

I guess what I mean is how the sapling is grateful for the seed

And I'm thinking how all things change

How the branches grow tall

But our initials remain

I'll remember you well when the summer is gone

Another year another ring round my bones

When I say that I'll miss you

I guess what I mean is that I'll miss you like autumn misses spring

And I've been thinking how everything dies

Like the reds and the blues on their way cross the sky

And the sunset explodes when it knows that it's time

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
