Key: G

-3  -4    4    -4  -3  3 -3  -4  3
Lov-er, there will be an-oth-er one
  3    -3  -4 4 -4  -3  3   -3   -4   3
Who'll hov-er o-ver you be-neath the sun
3  -3  -4   4  -4    -3     3  -3  -4  3
To-mor-row see the things that nev-er come

To-day

  3   3  -4  -5
When you see me
 6  6 -5    3  -4  -5
Fly a-way with-out you
  6   6  6   6    -5    3   -4
Shad-ows on the things you know
  6    6   -5  3   -4  -5
Feath-ers fall a-round you
-4   -3   4  -4  -3  3  -3
And show you the way to go
 -4 4-4-3 3   -4 4-43 -3-43
It's ov- er, it's ov-  er.

Nestled in your wings my little one
This special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow see the things that never come
Today

When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.
