  *1 *2  Decending
  *1 *2
 The evening winds are still
 I’ve lost the  way and will
 can’t carry  you where they  will
 I just know  what they meant
  Am (Decending Root)
 I’m always on my guard
  (Dec  Cont.)
 admitting life is hard
without  you near me
 The friend you used to be
 so near and dear to me
 you slipped so far away
 where did we go astray
 I passed the old school yard
 admitting life is hard
 without you near me
 Ever  since the day
 the  day you went  away
 I felt  that emtyness
 so quite?  wide?
 I don’t  know what’s  wrong or right
 I just  know I need strenght  tonight
 strength  to fight that  world outside
 Since we’ve been out of touch
 I haven’t felt that much
 From day to barren day
 My heart stays locked away
 I walk the boulevard
 admitting life is hard
 without you near me
 The sun is sinkin low
 I’ guess it’s time to go
 I feel a chilly breeze
 In place of memories
 My dreams are locked and barred
 admitting life is hard
 without you near me

The evening winds are still
I’ve lost [Dm]the way and [E7]will
can’t carry[Am7] you where they[D7] will
I just kn[Gm]ow what they meant[C7]
          Am   (Decending Root)

admitting life is hard
[Gm]witho[C7]ut you near m[F]e

you slipped so far away
where did we go astray
I passed the old school yard
admitting life is hard
without you near me

Eve[Bb]r since the [A7]day

From day to barren day
My heart stays locked away
I walk the boulevard
admitting life is hard
without you near me

The sun is sinkin low
I’ guess it’s time to go
I feel a chilly breeze
In place of memories
My dreams are locked and barred
admitting life is hard
without you near me
