A E G F#m E
And so begins the task I have dreaded the coming of for so long
A E G F#m E
I wait for the sun to remind my body it needs resting
Bm D A E
And I must learn to live without you now
Bm D A E
I must learn to give only part somehow
A E G F#m
Camping on the edge of your city I wait
D A E
Hoping somehow you might see beyond yourself
A E G F#m
The shadows on the ceiling hard but not real
D A E
Like the bars that cage you within yourself
Bm D A E
And I must learn to live without you now
Bm D A E
I must learn to give only part somehow
SOLO
Bm D A E
And I must learn to live without you now
Bm D A E
I must learn to give only part somehow
A E G F#m
All of these cages must and shall be set aside
D A E
They will only keep us from the knowing
A E G F#m
Actors and stages now fall before the truth
D A E
As the love shared between remains growing
Bm D A E
And I must learn to live without you now
Bm D A E
I must learn to give only part somehow
