D C# Bm A D C# Bm


[Verse 1]
D                C#   Bm
Watch her as she flew deep within
    A      D                C#
the blue A day out from the county
    Bm        D
I.C.U There's nothing you can
C#         Bm
do Someone gently says to
A       D
you The doctor says that
C#              Bm
now it won't be long


[Verse 2]
          D
I try and live up until the
C#           Bm
moment and I hope that I don't
A           D             C#
blow it And what is it in me that
Bm              D
she hears? It's just a song she
C#           Bm             A
likes Little arms around my neck
      D          C#             Bm
And a dying girl whispers in my ear

[Chorus 1]
E F#m E/G#    A           E       F#m E/G# A
      Tell me now can you feel it?
E         F#m     E/G# A
I've been keeping company with
  E    F#m E/G# A    E        F#m
a ghost          She comes to me
E/G#   A        E     F#m E/G# A
like a piece of summer
    E        F#m
She comes to me on the
E/G#      A         E   F#m E/G# A
days when I need it most


[Verse 3]
     E      F#m
Well summer dies and
E/G#    A        E   F#m E/G# A
nothing lasts forever
    E         F#m
And you're so fine the
E/G#             A
way you stand up to your
E    F#m E/G# A    E
fears          The summer
F#m                E/G#
dies and it's just moments
   A      E     F#m E/G# A
we have together


[Chorus 2]
    C                 D
I'd give my bones for you
                  D    C#
to get a few more years
    Bm A     D C#   Bm
For you and I    oh Annie
D       C#        Bm
More to life than trying
A     D   C#   Bm
to survive  oh Annie


[Verse 4]
   E         F#m  E/G#
My boyfriend took pictures
   A       E       F#m E/G# A
of me as I held you
  E       F#m
I travel alone and the
E/G#       A            E    F#m E/G# A
loneliness brings me to tears
    E      F#m
The summer dies and it's just
E/G#       A      E     F#m E/G# A
moments we have together


[Chorus 3]
    C                 D
I'd give my bones for you
                  D    C#
to get a few more years
    Bm A     D C#   Bm
For you and I    oh Annie
D       C#        Bm
More to life than trying
A     D   C#   Bm
to survive  oh Annie


[Bridge]
 F#m
Stronger than the hands
     F#m          E
that hold you You sing
             E
along to the song on the
           D
radio If I drank too much
     D             Bm
when I am reckless Just this
           Bm
once would you forgive this
   E  F#m            E    E
And oh   hold on the days gone by
E F#m E/G#    A           E    F#m E/G# A
      Tell me now can you feel it?


[Verse 6]
E       F#m  E/G#     A    E   F#m E/G# A
I can't keep this all to myself
       E F#m  E/G# A       E     F#m E/G# A
She's elegant      and she means it
A
no

Years  for you and I   oh Annie

More to life than trying to
   D   C#   Bm    D
survive  oh Annie Watch her as
    C#   Bm              A
she flew deep within the blue
