[Verse 1]
Am Em F C C/B
Just like an old friend, kinder than expected
Am Em F
That Cadillac came and gave our girl the ride
Am Em F C C/B
Loss has no end, it binds to our connection
Am Em G
And we don’t speak of it, we don’t even try
[Chorus]
F G
If you could help me to share the trouble
C F
That you’ve got burnin in you, then you can help me
C G
And in our time together her memory will ever
F
Shine like golden embers in the night
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Am Em F C C/B
I miss the old hymns, when she used to sing
Am Em F
The sparrows spread their mortal wings
Am Em F C C/B
For now they’ve all alighted, with the silence of strings
Am Em G
Like notes on the pages, she breathed life into all things
[Chorus]
F G
If you could help me to share the trouble
C F
That you’ve got burnin in you, then you can help me
C G
And in our time together her memory will ever
F
Shine like golden embers in the night
[Bridge] (half-time feel)
|Em |C |Em |C |
|Em |C |Em |C |
|Em |C |Em |C |
|Em |C |Em |C |
Em C Em C
Just like an old friend, reach out to me
Em C Em C
And bathe me in the light of understanding
[Chorus]
F G
And try to help me to share the trouble
C F
That you’ve got burnin in you, then you can help me
C G
And in our time together her memory will ever
F
Shine like golden embers in the night
