Standard (EADGBE)

Tell me when the time we had slipped away

 Tomorrow turned to yesterday

 And I don't know how

Tell me what can stop this river of tears

 It's been building up for years

 For this moment now

 Here I stand

 Arms open wide

 I've held ya close

 Kept ya safe

 Till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend

 And how to harness up the wind

 And how to say goodbye

Tell me why

 Why does following your dreams

  ¨

Take you far away from me

 And I knew that it would

Tell me how to fill the space you left behind

 And how to laugh instead of cry

 And how to say goodbye

 Here I stand

 Arms open wide

 I've held ya close

 Kept ya safe

 Till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend

 And how to harness up the wind

 And how to say goodbye
