[Verse 1]
Am                                            C
The air was warm where he used to stand,

G                                          D
Golden days slipped like grains of sand.

Am                      C
Now a shadow wears his name,

G                    D
A stranger, yet somehow the same.
(Whispered harmonies: “Where did you go? Why did you stray?”) [Chorus]
C                                           G
And the veil grows thicker, he pulls further away,

Am                          E
I try to reach him, but he won’t stay.

C                                     G
The space between us keeps growing wide,

Am                          E
I don’t know how to bring him back inside.
[Verse 2]
Am                               C
A storm brews quiet beneath his skin,

G                                D
A battle rages, but it won’t let me in.

Am                                   C
His laughter’s a ghost, his words grow cold,

G                                    D
A story untold, slipping from his hold.
(Whispered harmonies: “Do you hear me? Can you feel me?”) [Chorus]
C                                               G
And the veil grows thicker, he pulls further away,

Am                          E
I try to reach him, but he won’t stay.

C                                     G
The space between us keeps growing wide,

Am                          E
I don’t know how to bring him back inside.
[Bridge]
F
Each strum of the strings carries time undone,

G
Each note is a thread to the fading sun.

Am
He’s trapped in the tides of his own despair,

E
And I’m reaching for a shadow that isn’t there.
(Whispered harmonies: “Hold on, come back…”) [Chorus]
C                                               G
And the veil grows thicker, he pulls further away,

Am                          E
I try to reach him, but he won’t stay.

C                                     G
The space between us keeps growing wide,

Am                          E
I don’t know how to bring him back inside.
[Outro]
C                              G
Still, I wait by the golden shore,

F                                   Am
Hoping the light will break once more.

C                                    G
And if the veil should ever fall,

F                          E
I’ll be here to answer his call.
