F#m C#m/E Dmaj7 C#m7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
As far as my eyes can see,
F#m C#m/E Dmaj7 C#m7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7
There are shadows app - rouching me,
Am E/G# Em/G D/F#
And to those I left be - hind, I wanted you to know,
Dm/F Am/E B7sus4 B7 E7sus4 E7
You've always shared my deepest thoughts, you'll follow where I go!
Am Em/G F Am
And oh---oh, when I'm old and wise,
Dm Am/C
Bitter words mean little to me,
B7sus4 B7 E7sus4 E7
Autumn winds will blow right through me,
Am Em/G F Am
And some---- day, in the mists of time,
Dm Am/C
When they ask me if I knew you,
B7sus4 B7 E7sus4 E7 F
I'd smile and say, you were a friend of mine,
G/F Em7 Am Am/G
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes,
F G/F A
Oh, when I'm old and wise!
