Verse 1:
Eb
I will remember you
       Bb
In the way you'd want me to
         Ab                               Eb
But it's hard to come to terms right now
Eb
Sunset looked today
         Bb
As if it knew you'd gone away
         Ab                                 Eb
Now it's night, I hear the rain crash down

Pre-chorus:
        Ab                                 Cm
Oh, I'd cry, but this is more than just my pain
    Bb                            Ab
Oh, I could be a shoulder, not a burden
         Ab                             Cm
And it's time for me to call your son again
    Bb
And say

Chorus:
    Eb
She was the starlight in darkness
    Bb
She was the first bloom in spring
   Ab
An angel with a smile like electric light
Ab                    Bb
All the time hit her wings
    Eb
She was the birdsong in morning
        Bb
But now everything here has changed
        Ab            Cm
All the world's less beautiful
Bb                      Eb
Since you've been away

Verse 2:
Eb
I will remember you
           Bb
With white whine by the barbecue
       Ab                                  Eb
On New York at the birthday doo, downtown
Eb
All that comes to mind
       Bb
When I think about the time
     Ab                           Eb
Is a memory of laughing out loud

Pre-chorus:
      Ab                                 Cm
Oh, I wish, that I could take the pain away
    Bb                   Ab
And just talk to him in person
         Ab                             Cm
But it's time for me to call your son again
    Bb
And say

Chorus:
    Eb
She was the starlight in darkness
    Bb
She was the first bloom in spring
   Ab
An angel with a smile like electric light
Ab                    Bb
All the time hit her wings
    Eb
She was the birdsong in morning
        Bb
But now everything here has changed
        Ab            Cm
All the world's less beautiful
Bb                      Ab
Since you've been away

Bridge:
     Eb                  Bb
This doesn't make sense
       Cm      Bb          Ab
I wish I could change it, but
  Eb           Bb
I can't do anything
Ab   Eb               Bb
 My heart is racing
       Cm      Bb       Ab Eb  Bb
And my soul is aching, lover

Chorus:
    (nc)
She was the starlight in darkness
    (nc)
She was the first bloom in spring
   (nc)
An angel with a smile like electric light
(nc)
All the time hit her wings
    Eb
She was the birdsong in morning
        Bb
But now everything here has changed
        Ab            Cm
All the world's less beautiful
Bb
Since you've been away

Outro:
    Ab            Cm
The world's less beautiful
Bb                      Eb
Since you've been away
