[Intro] Vanessa plays piano very fast
D C# Bm A D C# Bm
[Verse 1]
D C# Bm
Watch her as she flew deep within
A D C#
the blue A day out from the county
Bm D
I.C.U There's nothing you can
C# Bm
do Someone gently says to
A D
you The doctor says that
C# Bm
now it won't be long
[Verse 2]
D
I try and live up until the
C# Bm
moment and I hope that I don't
A D C#
blow it And what is it in me that
Bm D
she hears? It's just a song she
C# Bm A
likes Little arms around my neck
D C# Bm
And a dying girl whispers in my ear
[Instrumental]

days when I need it most

Well summer dies and

dies and it's just moments
A E F#m E/G# A
we have together
[Chorus 2]
C D
I'd give my bones for you
D C#
to get a few more years
Bm A D C# Bm
For you and I oh Annie

More to life than trying
A D C# Bm
to survive oh Annie
[Verse 4]
E F#m E/G#
My boyfriend took pictures
A E F#m E/G# A
of me as I held you
E F#m
I travel alone and the
E/G# A E F#m E/G# A
loneliness brings me to tears
E F#m
The summer dies and it's just
E/G# A E F#m E/G# A
moments we have together
[Chorus 3]

I'd give my bones for you

along to the song on the

radio If I drank too much
D Bm
when I am reckless Just this
Bm
once would you forgive this
E F#m E E
And oh hold on the days gone by
