Michael Card – Mourning The Death Of A Dream (Guitar)

             G       D/F#  Em       D         C     G/B Am
Cool morning shadows sadly shift across the floor;

             Am                D             G    Bm
Each time we say goodbye, it's harder than before.

           F/C             C                      G/B Am
Even after all the pain of parting, still we find

               C                    D                 G D/F# Em D C D
That we must mourn the death of the dreams we leave behind.

             G       D/F#     Em        D       C    G/B Am
As I turn my back on all that means the most to me,

               Am                     D             G   Bm
The sounds and smells, the light that dances on the sea,

             F/C          C                 G/B Am
The greatest gamble is to act on the belief

              C                   D            G
That only the slave who leaves it all is truly free.

    D/F# Em                D              C
The sacrifice that we both lay before His feet:

           Am             G
A thousand moments that belonged to us

     Am             D
That now will never be.

             G        D/F#   Em    D        C     G/B Am
By faith, we hold a better dream inside our hearts,

                Am                D           G    Bm
A time when our family will never have to be apart;

     Bm      F/C                C                   G/B Am
Till then we struggle with just what it really means,

            C                      D   Ebdim Em     Am
And we will mourn the death of our beautiful dreams,

C                      D         G
Mourn the death of our beautiful dreams.
