[Intro] Em  Am  D  B7
        Em  Am  B7  Em

 Em         Am    D            B7
Before the dawn,  I hear you whisper
Em        Am          B7              Em
In your sleep  Don't let the morning take him
Em           Am    D        B7
Outside the birds begin to call
Em        Am    B7     Em
As if to summon up my leaving

C            G         E7                 Am
It's been a lifetime     since I found someone
C              G                 D
Since I found someone who would stay
C           G        E7                Am
I've waited too long,   and now you're leaving
C               G            B7
   Please don't take it all away

It's been a lifetime     since I found someone
C              G                 D
