Verses & chorus:

C     Cadd9  Fmaj7            Dm      G
Mary walks down to the water's edge and there she hangs her head to

C           Cadd9      Fmaj7             Dm       G
find herself faded a shadow of what she once was.  She says

C                Cadd9       Fmaj7           Dm        G
"How long have I been sleeping and why do I feel so old why do I feel so cold

   C         Cadd9                          Dm
My heart is saying one thing but my body won't let go."

     F         G         F       C     Dm                    G
With trembling hands she reaches out a strangers's flesh is offered

   F       G      F       C     F       G              F      C
And I would be the last to know  I would be the last to let it show

F       G      F       C        Dm   G
I would be the last to go.

Take her hand she will lead you through the fire oh, and give you back hope and hope that you won't take too much respecting what is left she cradled us she held us in her arms unselfish in her suffering she could not understand that no one seemed to have the time to cherish what was given I would be the last... (and so on)
