Capo #1
[Verse 1]
Bm D A E
You lived your life like you were on fire, but how could I dance?
Bm D A E
When your soul just lifted me higher and higher and higher?
Bm D A E
Paint bleeds, ink runs, image of your love
Em A
Your memory, our history
(Why did you have to go?)
[Chorus 1]
Bm D A E Bm
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
D A E
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
Bm D A E
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
Em A
But you had to die for me to see how to live
Bm D
(For me to see how, how)
A E
(For me to see how, ohhh)
Bm D
(For me to see how, how)
A E
(For me to see how, ohhh)
[Verse 2]
Bm D A E
I lived my life hiding in shadows, but now I can see
Bm D A E
'Cause your soul is lifting me higher and higher and higher
Bm D A E
Paint bleeds, I can't breathe, need you here with me
Em A
Close my eyes, I can feel you close
(Why did you have to go?)
[Chorus 2]
Bm D A E Bm
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
D A E
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
Bm D A E
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
Em A
But you had to die for me to see how to live
[Bridge]
Bm D A E
Angels fall, it's not your fault
Bm D A E
Time goes on without you (without you)
Bm D A E
Goodbye old friend, we'll meet again
Em A
Life goes on without you
(Why did you have to go?)
[Chorus 2]
Bm D A E Bm
I'd give up my eyes to see you one last time
D A E
And I'd give all my fingertips to touch you
Bm D A E
And I could paint you picture perfect, even if I were blinded
Em A
But you had to die for me to see how to live
Bm D
(For me to see how, how)
A E
(For me to see how, live)
Bm D
(For me to see how, how)
A E
(For me to see how, live)
