C                      Gm
There you stood on the edge of your feather

F             G
 Expecting to fly

C                 Gm
 While I laughed, I wondered whether

F                 G   C
 I could wave goodbye

F                  Bb
Knowin' that you'd gone
[Chorus]
Cm             F
 By the summer it was healing

Bb              D#maj7
We had said goodbye

Cm                  F
 All the years we'd spent with feeling

Bb           D#maj7
Ended with a cry

D#maj7 Bbmaj7         D#maj7
Babe...  ended with a cry

D#maj7 Bbmaj7         C Csus C Csus
Babe...  ended with a cry
[Verse 2]
C           Gm
 I tried so hard to stand

     F                        G
As I stumbled and fell to the ground

C           Gm
 So hard to laugh as I fumbled

    F                      G   C
And reached for the love I found

F              Bb
Knowin' it was gone
[Chorus]
Cm         F
 If I ever lived without you

Bb               D#maj7
Now you know I'd die

Cm         F
 If I ever said I loved you

Bb             D#maj7
Now you know I tried

D#maj7 Bbmaj7           D#maj7
Babe... now you know I  tried

D#maj7 Bbmaj7        C Csus (end on)C
Babe... now you know I tried
