Strum
D-DU-UDU
Cut  out your pictures  now, I know  that you are near.
 Tack them into the frame  for now,
 
 as I know that you'll be here.
 It's not just me  you know, there's a lot  of ruined smiles,
 And I remain so strong  for them, even though,
 I'm burst inside.
It  was unexpected,
 But I always  should have known,
 That you would lead a shortened  life,
 coz your light  was running low.
 Felt I was one  with you, and you reassured  my head,
  Didn't seem the same when you were lying in your bed.
 No trips to our secret  place since you left  me on my own,
 You said that you would never  leave and your soul  would linger on.
 It was unexpected,
 But I always  should have known,
 That you would lead a shortened  life
 as your light  was running low.
 You should have told  me when,
 When you decided  to give in.
  I wasn't ready for the blo-o-o-o-w,
 And now my sun  has turned  to snow.
 Cut out your pictures  now I know  that you are near.
 Tack them into the frame  for now, as I know  you won't be here.
