[Verse]
Am G C D G
The time has come to part my love I must go away
Am D G C D G
I leave you now my darling girl no longer can I stay
C D C Em D C
My heart like yours is breaking together we'll prove strong
B7 Em D C D Am
The road I take will show the world the suffering that goes on
[Verse]
Am G C D G
The gentle clasp that holds my hand must loosen and let go
Am D G C D G
Please help me through the door though instinct tells you no
C D C Em D C
Our vow it is eternal and will bring you dreadful pain
B7 Em D C D Am
But if our demands aren't recognised don't call me back again
[Verse]
Am G C D G
How their sorrow touched us all in those final days
Am D G C D G
When it was time she held the door and touched his shallow face
C D C Em D C
The flame he lit by leaving is still burning strong
B7 Em D C D Am
By the lights it's plain to see the suffering still goes on
[Outro]
Am G C D G
The time has come to part my love I must go away
Am D G C D G
I leave you now my darling girl no longer can I stay
