Verse 1
Dm
Once upon a time
F Bb G
I was on a mind to lay your burden down
Dm
And leave you where you stood
F
You believed I could
Bb G
You'd seen it done before
Dm
I could read your thoughts
F
And tell you what you saw
Bb G
And never say a word
Dm
But now that is gone
F
Over with and done
Bb G
And never to return
Dm
I can tell you why
F
People die alone
Dm
I can tell you why
Bb
The shadow on the sun
Verse 2
*Follow the same progression as in Verse 1.
Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned
Chorus 2
Dm
I can tell you why
F
People go insane
Dm
I can show you how
Bb
You could do the same
Dm
I can tell you why
F
The end will never come
Dm
I can tell you on
Bb
The shadow on the sun!!!
