INTRO - Em | Em | Am | Em
VERSE
Em Am Am7
If I should go before you
D11/A Am Am7
When that long night comes
Em Am Am7
We'll meet in the ever after
D11/A Em
Please don't follow me into the sun
Em Am Am7
If you should cross the white light
D11/A Am Am7
And find yourself in the black
Em Am Am7
I'll be right there behind you
D11/A Em
You will have no need to look back
BRIDGE
Am D11/A
And when the night cries itself awake
Am D11/A
Dying in the light of day
Am D11/A
Our endless love will remain
Em
Until we meet again
VERSE
Em Am Am7
If I should go before you
D11/A Am Am7
Into the great unknown
Em Am Am7
I'll leave my ghost right beside you
D11/A Em
You won't have to wait alone
BRIDGE
Am D11/A
And when the night cries itself awake
Am D11/A
Dying in the light of day
Am D11/A
Our endless love will remain
Until we meet
OUTRO
Am D11/A
Crying ourselves awake
Am D11/A
Dying in the light of day
Am D11/A
Our endless love will remain
Em
Until we meet again
