[Verse]
Em
All the stories my father told
C
They spoke of your golden heart
Em
Now the air in the room is cold
C
As your memories fall apart
[Pre-chorus]
Em
(You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming
C
(You only remember that)
D
Once all the clocks stop running
Em
(We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
C
And words I never said
D
(Words I never said)
[Chorus]
Em D C
Give me strength to see you weak
G D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
Em D C
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
G D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
[Verse]
Em
You've been claimed by your suffering
C
Sinking deeper in your pain
Em
If you made a recovery
C
Could you ever be the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
(You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming
C
(You only remember that)
D
Once all the clocks stop running
Em
(We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
C
And words I never said
D
(Words I never said)
[Chorus]
Em D C
Give me strength to see you weak
G D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
Em D C
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
G D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
[Bridge]
Em D C x2
Em D C
I tower over your hospital bed
Em D C
Like you used to with me
Em D C
I tower over your hospital bed
Like you used to...
[Chorus]
Em D C
Strength to see you weak
G D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
Em D C
Give me strength to see you weak
G D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
Em D C
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep
G D Em D C
'Cause I can't bear to let you, bear to let you leave
