D A
Like the light was all I had
Em Bm A
I struck the book with my last match
D A
The candle burned so soft and slow
Em Bm A
I felt the warmth and felt its glow
D A
Salt tasting tears
Em
They roll of of my lips
Bm A D A
One for each day I'm inside this house it's a trap
Em Bm A D
One I can't quite escape so pretend it's the place that I love
D A G
Won't let it pass me by again
D A D
Won't let it pass me by again
D
The grass was clipped
A
The summer sun
Em Bm A
Was beating down on my front yard
D A
All the boys and girls would laugh
Em Bm A
I'd watch them through the curtain's crack
D A
Place all your bets and watch me lose
Em Bm A
The life that I got but never used
D A Em
Dream every night that one will come true
Bm D
But only bad ones ever do
D A G
Won't let it pass me by again
D A D
Won't let it pass me by again
NOTE Hold the D for a while Then switch back and forth between a D and G
D G
My heart beats way too fast
D A G
To let regret sit in my lap
D A G
Won't let it pass me by again
D A G
Won't let it pass me by again
D
Won't let this pass me by again
D A G
Won't let it pass me by again
D
Won't let this pass me by again
D A G D,A
Won't let it pass me by again
