[Verse 1]
D                        C             G
When you leave there’s a cloud in your wake
D                      C        G
You’ll return we don’t doubt you
D                    C            G
We might grieve in a crowd by the lake
D                         C       G
It’s not the same here without you
Em D/F#  G
Co–lors  fade
Em    D/F# G
Grays on   gray


[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
D                             C            G
When you’re here there’s more light in the place
D                       C       G
All those colors really suit you
D                           C                 G
When you’re gone there’s no chase in the race
D                      C     G
We look forward to the future
Em  D/F# G
One more thing
Em    D/F# G
Raise your wings


[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Am          D
In the next booth
C                     G
There’s a fountain of youth
Bm                Am
And we try not to stare
        D    D/C   D/B  D/Bb
And the wind blows our nests


[Chorus]
