I get into bed beside him It will be the last time Fmaj7/C, Csus, C, C/G
Careful not to touch him For his pain becomes mine Fmaj7/C, Csus, C, C/G
We look at each other And I stare at his face Fmaj7/C, Csus, C, C/G
Those eyes are my lover’s But the rest has been erased Fmaj7/C, Csus, C/G, C/G
.
It takes all of his strength ... Just to touch me ... Along my face Am - G, F, Am - G, F
And with all of his heart ... Longs to give me ... Just one embrace Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his breath...He tells me ... That he must soon depart Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his life ... He gives me ... The last of his heart Am - G, F, Am, G, F, F
. Am - Fmaj7/C, C
.
He clings to the end his life For all that it’s worth Fmaj7/C, Csus, C, C/G
To give me his friend and wife The best love on earth Fmaj7/C, Csus, C, C/G
Two weeks before Valentine His gifts have begun Fmaj7/C, Csus, C, C/G
Today’s heart candy sign Says...“You’re the only one” Fmaj7/C, Csus, C/G, C/G
.
It takes all of his strength ... Just to touch me ... Along my face Am - G, F, Am - G, F
And with all of his heart ... Longs to give me ... Just one embrace Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his breath...He tells me ... That he must soon depart Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his life ... He gives me ... The last of his heart Am - G, F, Am, G, F, F
.
Two ships in the night --- One strikes a reef C/G, Em
Trapped in her sight --- The other ship leaks C/G, Em
Filling with water --- Gasping for breath Am, Em
Slowly he falters --- Then nothing is left Am - Em, [hold], F - G
.
It took all of his strength ... Just to touch me ... Along my face Am - G, F, Am - G, F
And with all of his heart ... Longed to give me ... Just one embrace Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his breath... He told me ...That he must soon depart Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his life ... He gave me ... The last of his heart Am - G, F, Am, G, F, F
.
Please tell me ... Why, why, why ... Did he go? Am - G, F, Am - G, F
I want to know ... Why, why, why ... Am I alone? Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his breath... He told me ...That he must soon depart Am - G, F, Am - G, F
With the last of his life ... He gave me ... The last of his heart Am - G, F, Am, G, F, F
.
The last of his heart ... The last of his heart .... Am, G, F, F; Am, G, F, F
. Am - Fmaj7/C, C
