[intro]
D Bm G (2x)

[vers1]
  D           Bm          G                   D    Bm     G
Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
  D           Bm          G          D    Bm     G
Makes her body older than it really is
  D                         Bm          
And she says it's high time she went away
     G                       D    Bm     G
No ones got much to say in this time
  D           Bm          G     D    A
Trouble is the only way is down,   down, down

[chorus]
  D       
As strong as you were
             Bm
Tender you got
                    A
I'm watching you breathing 
               G
For the last time
                  D  
A song for your heart
             Bm
But when it is quiet
                    A
I know what it means
               G
And I'll carry you home
                  D
I'll carry you home

D    Bm     G 2x

[vers2]
  D                            Bm   
If she had wings she would fly away
         G                            D    Bm     G
And another day god will give her some
  D           Bm          G     D    A
Trouble is the only way is down,    down,down

[chorus]
 D
As strong as you were
              Bm
Tender you got
                            A             G*
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
                 D
A song for your heart
               Bm
But when it is quiet
                 A
I know what it means 
               G*
I'll carry you home
                D
I'll carry you home

[bridge]
  G                    D
And they all want pretty 
                   A
New York City lights
  G                    D                           A
And summers little girl has been taken from the world tonight
  G          D          A
But the stars and stripes

[chorus 2x]
  D
As strong as you were
            Bm
Tender you got
                          A               G
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
                   D
A song for your heart
               Bm
But when it is quiet
                A
I know what it means
                     G
And i'll carry you home

               D       Bm       G 
I'll carry you home
