F5 G/B Dm/F G7sus C/G
I got hit hard, I'm on the ground
F/A C/G

F/A C/G

F/A C/G

F/A C/G
And I'll return from my trip to hell
F5 G/B Dm/F G7sus C/G

F/A C/G

F5 G/B Dm/F G7sus C/G

F/A C/G
Oh what a loss
F/A C/G
Oh what a loss
F/A C/G
I miss my closest friend
F/A C/G
And now I cling to rocks and wind
F5 G/B Dm/F G7sus C/G
It's a precious thing we lost
