     C
You put your hand on top of mine

        G
you're talking fast but talking blind

       F                     C        G
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes

      C
'cos death is slowly covering you

    G
in galaxies of black and blue

    F                     C          G
and under your skin all his colors bloom

                 Dm
And you're only half here

      Am       G           Dm       Am       G
like someone left a frail body and took the rest

         C  F        Dm        
But I remember when you were strong

 G                    C    F
never wanted help from no-one

      Dm                   G              C, Dm, G
what you've become is not who I remember

                                    C, Dm, Em, F, G
Is this the cooling of the embers?

       C
She's back again through summers past

      G
the smell of rain and freshly cut grass

             F                C              G
seems those ordinary days are the ones that last

     C
Cos he was there, the one you loved

    G
the one you never could let go of

             F                          C         G
and there's something you know as you're looking up

                Dm
That your only half here

      Am      G            Dm        Am       G
like someone left a frail body and stole the rest

         C  F        Dm        
But I remember when you were strong

 G                    C    F
never wanted help from no-one

      Dm               G                 C, Dm, Em
what you've become is not who I remember

             F                      C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, F. G
Is this the cooling of the embers?

             Am            F
is this the cooling of the embers?

G            Am           F
Cos you are not who I remember

G                     Am               F
it's like you are a child, you are a child, you are a child once more

G               Am               F
and all of our yesterday's have gone

     C
You put your hand on top of mine

        G
you're talking fast but talking blind

       F                     C          G
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes...
Enjoy :)
