Strum
D-DU-UDU
 From the morning  when I rise  from  my bed
 Till the evening  when I lay my  head in  slumber
 Oh, the loss  of you does  wreck my  days
 Leaves me with  a violent hunger
 I will never  be free from you
 Till I escape  the lions  jaw
 There's no  welcome in  the end
 There's no reason  to return again
The  mountain stood so large
We  were humbled
We  walked a high and lonely path
The  sun beat down on the ground
We  looked around us
There  were no trees there
We  found a creek there
We  dipped our feet there
We  were alone there
There  was still hope there
There  had been a great disaster
The  hot winds came just after
A  tremendous shock was felt
Survivors  often tell
The  trees all hit the ground
Death  was all around
And  not a single lonesome sound
The  example lay before you
You  knew what you had to do
You  had the pressure in you
To  destroy the one who loved you
The  death was all around
You  were hotter to me than the sun
That  burned me up the day we went to Mt.  St. Helens
And  if the special death you gave to me
Is  the prize I get to take home silently  then suffer with the fact that
I  could never  be your friend
I  could never  come back home  again
