Em
In parallel sea what would I be?

"Tears out for the world to see"
F
I would not be

Tears out, it would feel so

Heavenly, heavenly, heavenly

Hard now to picture a me
C
Without a you, without a you

Em
"Don't interfere"
C F
Part of her back was frozen
C F A#
For the remainder of the war
Em
"Don't be concerned"
C F
But I never learned how not to be
C Em
As my first love said to me,
Fmaj7 Em
"I don't care. I'm not there."
F Em
So that I could not sleep
F C
My whole being was falling apart
F
So that I soon cried out,
C
"Dear friends, hold me!"
End: C Em F Fmaj7 (x2)
