G          Em        C          G
I used to walk in a big black cloud
             Em           C      G
You took my hand and you led me out
           Em      C              G
A nest of demons played upon my chest
F             G          Am           Cm
You picked me up and you laid them to rest

Chorus:
        G           Em            C         G
It's a pain, to be sure, we were aiming so high
         Em            D          G
It's so strange to be saying goodbye

We saw the world from an automobile
Saw the best views over ten thousand meals
Funny how an evening turns into years
Funny how were laughing through all of these tears

Chorus

Oh my darlin should we have one more dance
A prayer to the rain gods to give one more chance
The water will cleanse as we spin on the plain
Take us to the ocean to find love again

Chorus

Itis a pain that endures
We sure gave it a try
It's so strange to be saying goodbye
