Am   Dm F G Am
Am F Dm F G Am

[Verse 1]

Am
Sound of the waves
Dm
Song of the woeful wind
F            G     Em
Beauty of yearning
    Am               G
The tune of my heart
Am
For once there was a time
Dm
When I sat by your side
F            G       Em
And right before our eyes
    Am                  G
The world was open wide


[Chorus]
F     G  Am
(Days of youth)
Am             G
Are long since gone
F Em G Am
(Never return)
Am G
To return again
F               G
But a long slow descent left any more
Am  G      F    Em
The waning years of
Dm  Em          F   G    Am
Heartache and regret


[Verse 2]
Dm                      F
And yet the winds sing
F    G                Am
They sing the fairest tune
F          Dm        F
I hear the waves sigh
F    G            Am
They sigh out from pain
Am
And since you set out
  Dm
To reach for your hopes and dreams
F                G       Em    Am       G
I'll stay here helpless and in sight
Am
For these wounded wings
Dm
I never left this barren soil
F            G      Em     Am          G
Where all my wishes slowly fade away


[Chorus]
F     G  Am
(Days of youth)
Am             G
Are long since gone
F Em G Am
(Never return)
Am G
To return again
F               G
But a long slow descent left any more
Am  G      F    Em
The waning years of
Dm  Em          F    G    Am
Heartache and regret

[Interlude]

Dm Dsus2

[Bridge]
Dm
Do you still remember (Do you still remember)
Dm
Would you still believe (Would you still believe)
Dm
That this blackened soul of mine (Soul of mine)
Bb                        Dm      Bb
Was once untarnished?


[Outro]
Dm
Years of disappointment
Dm
And disillusion
Dm
All I see in the mirror now
Bb
Is an old man with a heart like a grave
Dm
Do you still remember (Do you still remember)
Dm
Would you still believe (Would you still believe)
Dm
That this blackened soul of mine
Bb
Was once untarnished?
