One night you slept upon your side

So why did you fly away

I’ve been dying a little death since that very day
          C   G          D    Em
I used to laugh when you told me
         C          G             C
You must forget and forgive to be free

Down by the water dressed in black

I made my camp upon the hill

Drank whisky from the secret still blameful

i’ve been dying a little death since that very day

i used to laugh when you told me
         C          G             C           G
you must forget and forgive to be free

      G     D      A7
And I never could admit
    G      D      A7
the part I had in it
   G       D      A7     Am7
So this is what I get my friend

Drunk in a field with scarlet snow

I reconciled with your ghost in April

I stood before the hypocrite

There in the mirror brightly lit shameful

           C G     D   Em
Now I know why you ran away
              C              G                D    Em
And I’ve been dying a little death since that very day
          C   G          D    Em
I used to laugh when you told me
         C          G

         C                    
You must forgive just to live
         Em         C                       G
you must forget and forgive to be free
