C
My love has gone behind the sun
Am
Since she left, the darkness has begun
F
The smile that used to shine on me
G
Is nothing more than a memory.

I see her face, I hear her voice
She made a move, I had no choice
But walk and cry, wipe tears with my hand
The one that carries a wedding band

         Em7        Am7
And the clouds hang low
         Dm          C       G/B
And the flowers that used to grow
       F         C/E   D/F#
In my heart are dying now
F G    C
Dying now.

Dying now
Dying now
