         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
 D  A
When there aren't any words to say


                D            Em           G         A           D   Em   G
A
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      D        A

When there aren't any words to say


 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
