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
                      G          F
You just smiled at me through the sickness
            G                        Am
And said you couldn't suffer through more
 Am                G          F    Am
Then you asked me to give you mercy
                  G         C   Am
As the tears rolled down my face
                    G       F
And you whispered that you'd miss me
            G                      Am
And then you left me alone in this 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            F      Am
Then you lay there still like the winter
                             C   Am
As your skin turned cold as snow
                G                F
And I held you tight through the 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

[Ending] C  G  F
