D#m C# Today I walked down our old street D#m C# Past the diner where we'd meet B G#m D#m C# Now I dine alone in our old seats D#m C# The cold wind blows right through my bones D#m C# And I feel like I'm getting old B G#m D#m C# But I wish I was getting old with you B D#m I held your hand when we took B Shelter from the rain D#m She laughed as we picked Out our children's names Chorus: B G#m D#m White sparrows fell from C# B Heaven and carried her away G#m D#m Black arrows cut the strings C# Of my heart I kneel and pray Her clothes hang in the closet still The phone sits on the windowsill And every time it rings it gives me chills My heart just stopped when I was told Doctor, doctor, on the phone Said my love was never coming home I hold your casket gently Walking to the grave Dark clouds eclipse The sun won't shine again Chorus They gave her one more day To say the words I couldn’t say I’m crying in pain Crying in pain D#m C# And I'm not looking for answers D#m C# No, I'm not looking for answers B G#m D#m But dear God, why did you choose her? Chorus They gave her one more day To say the words I couldn’t say I’m crying in pain Crying in pain Our love will remain I’m crying in pain You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC# ![]() D#m ![]() G#m ![]() B ![]() Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
