verse 1: 
                G    F#m  
When we were together     
                Bm Bm/A G 
I lay in your river 
        G           A        Bm   Bm/A Bm 
As the fish swam through my hands 
               G    F#m  
Raindrops and roses  
                Bm   Bm/A G 
fell from the heavens 
          G      A           D  Dsus4 D 
Just to brush against your skin 
                      G  F#m  
And a strand of your hair  
             Bm Bm/A G 
lost to the wind 
       G               A         D  Dsus4 D 
Sent doves wheeling through the air 

 
             G  A                   D     Dsus4 D 
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest 
G               A            Bm  Bm/A Bm 
  Stumbling on rocks in the dark 
         G  A              D    Dsus4 D 
But I remember, I still remember 
          G               A        D  Dsus4 D 
When you held me in your beautiful arms

verse 2: 
                   G  F#m  
When you left me alone  
                    Bm Bm/A G 
the sky turned to stone 
        G           A        Bm  Bm/A Bm 
And my legs rolled into the sea 
             G   F#m  
Why did you go?  
                Bm Bm/A G 
The sea was so cold 
    G         A            D   Dsus4 D 
My arms blew off in the breeze 
                    G        F#m  
I search for your footprints,  
              Bm   Bm/A G 
the scent of roses 
        G         A         D  Dsus4 D 
As the wind weeps over the sea 


             G  A                   D     Dsus4 D 
But now I'm alone in the petrified forest 
G               A            Bm  Bm/A Bm 
  Stumbling on rocks in the dark 
         G  A                  D    Dsus4 D 
And I remember, I'll always remember 
          G               A        Bm   Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm 
When you held me in your beautiful arms
