[Primeira Parte]

D
I will remember you
       A
In the way you'd want me to
         G                               D
But it's hard to come to terms right now
D
Sunset looked today
         A
As if it knew you'd gone away
         G                                 D
Now it's night, I hear the rain crash down

[Pré-Refrão]

        G                                 Bm
Oh, I'd cry, but this is more than just my pain
    A                            G
Oh, I could be a shoulder, not a burden
         G                             Bm
And it's time for me to call your son again
    A
And say

[Refrão]

    D
She was the starlight in darkness
    A
She was the first bloom in spring
  G
An angel with a smile like electric light
G                    A
All the time hit her wings
    D
She was the birdsong in morning
        A
But now everything here has changed
        G            Bm
All the world's less beautiful
A                      D
Since you've been away

[Segunda Parte]

D
I will remember you
           A
With white wine by the barbecue
       G                                 D
On New York at the birthday do, downtown
D
All that comes to mind
       A
When I think about the time
     G                           D
Is a memory of laughin' out loud

[Pré-Refrão]

      G                                 Bm
Oh, I wish, that I could take the pain away
    A                   G
And just talk to him in person
         G                             Bm
But it's time for me to call your son again
    A
And say

[Refrão]

    D
She was the starlight in darkness
    A

  G
An angel with a smile like electric light
G                    A

But now everything here has changed
        G            Bm
All the world's less beautiful
A                      G
Since you've been away

[Ponte]

     D                  A
This doesn't make sense
       Bm      A          G
I wish I could change it, but
  D           A     G
I can't do anything
  D                A
My heart is racin'
       Bm      A      G  D   A
And my soul is aching, lover

[Refrão]


She was the starlight in darkness

She was the first bloom in spring

An angel with a smile like electric light

All the time hit her wings
    D
She was the birdsong in morning
        A
But now everything here has changed
        G            Bm
All the world's less beautiful
A
Since you've been away

[Refrão]

         G            Bm
Hey, the world's less beautiful
A                      D
Since you've been away
