         D        Em           G        A     D Em G A
When I reach to hold you, I'll still be alone 
         D          Em       G      A   D Em G A
When I hear the ringin of the telephone 
  Em              G
I'll think it is you 
  Em           G    A
It will not be true 
 
 Bm     G     D        A
I know why the river runs 
 Bm      G    D       A
To a place somewhere far away 
  Bm    G      D        A
I know why the sky is cryin 
  Bm       G        D          A                Bm   G    D     A     Bm   G

I could play the message that you left for me 
         D         Em        G        A        D Em G A
I can hear your voice and I could still believe 
 Em                   G
That you will soon me home 
 Em                 G  A
But you will never come

 Bm                         G
There's a silence that I don't want to hear 
 Bm                    A
There's a hole now where my heart used to be 
 G                         Bm
They say that healing comes in time 
              A             G    Bm G D A (x4)
But I don't know what that means 
 
  Em               G
I lie here for so long 
 Em              G     A
But you will never come 
 
 
 Bm     G     D        A
