Still Like The Winter

[Intro] Am

[First Part]

 Am       G        F        Am
I woke to find you coughing
             G      C      Am
Like so many nights before
You just smiled at me 
G          F
through the sickness
            G                      
And said you couldn't suffer 
  Am
through more
 Am                G          F   
Then you asked me to give you 
 Am
mercy
                  G         C   Am
As the tears rolled down my face
                    G       F
And you whispered that you'd miss me
            G                      
And then you left me alone in this 
Am
place

( F )

[Chorus]

       C            F     C
I pleaded for forgiveness
        G                     Am   F
As you slipped away into the light
      C                 F
When the angels came to take you
    C       G      F
And left me   alone in the night

[Second Part]

         Am          G            
Then you lay there still like the 
F      Am
winter
                             C   Am
As your skin turned cold as snow
                G               
And I held you tight through the 
 F
morning
           G                      Am
And it was so hard to finally let go

( F )

[Chorus]
       C            F     C
I pleaded for forgiveness
        G                     Am   F
As you slipped away into the light
      C                 F
When the angels came to take you
    C       G      F
And left me   without your light
    C       G      F
And left me   without your light

[Outro] C  G  F
