Tom: G
G* C* G*
[Verse 1]
G* C*
Your leafless birches like no one
G* C*
You leave your body here too
G* C*
When winter comes around again
C/C# C/D G*
Someday its without you
[Verse 2]
G* C*
You leave behind a mens crying
G* C*
Until it's his time too
G* C* C/C# C/D G*
I'll stay behind and sing the songs of better times and think of you
[Chorus]
C D/F# G C riff
Now I think I understand you my darling
C D/F# G E Am
And all the things you tried to say
D/F# G C riff
Once you'll have to let your love leave without you
D/F# G*
And not because they don't want to stay
[Verse 3]
G* C*
The sun will rise again tomorrow
G* C*
Just like it doesn't understand
G* C* C/C# C/D G*
That you have left and all that's left to do is sing for you
[Chorus]
C D/F# G C
Now I think I understand you my darling
D/F# G E Am
And all the things you tried to say
D/F# G C
Once you'll have to let your love leave without you
D/F# G*
And not because they don't want to stay
[Bridge]
G* C*
I understand now
G* C* G*
I understand
C C/C# C/D G
Now I understand that
C G*
[Chorus]
C D/F# G C riff
Now I think I understand you my darling
D/F# G E Am
And all the things you tried to say
D/F# G C riff
Once you'll have to let your love leave without you
D/F# G*
And not because they don't want to stay
