Intro:   A*  E*  E**  A2  E  D/G*  (x2)  


Verse 1: 
A*          E*          E**   A2    E        D/G* 
All things pass with time,    old trends, old friends
A*               E*                    E**
Fitting for the month that michael died,
              A2          E                  D/G*
buried in a stone cold riverbed, where the water shall divide


A2             B
Oh, come colder weather
A2         B                  C*      B
Oh, come something better...  please


A*  E*  E**  A2  E  D/G*


Verse 2:
A*           E*           E**    A2     E       D/G* 
All things freeze with time,    Clear skies, dry eyes
      A*           E*               E**
Am I colder than the air in this town
               A2          E                     D/G*
I have been a stone cold riverbed, if still I am alive


A2        B
Maybe, someday
          A2           B
I said, maybe you'll forgive me


Verse 3:
        A2          E      B
Because I've been a mayday son
      A2         E                B    
I'm withered, weathered by the setting sun (of your summer)
A2         E    B                        A2      E
If I could be anyone, these days I'd be someone different
     B
... so I could hold you now


A*  E*  E**  A2  E  D/G*  (x2)


Verse 4:
A*           E*        E**
You slip away like a changing maple leaf
A2       E       D/G*
I try to find any dry land that I can
A*           E*               E**
And for the last time, though I have loved you
         A2              E                   D/G*
You keep slipping away, slipping away and I am finished with...


Verse 5:
         A2                          
All the chaos and the ticking clock
       B
The college life, the bomb that drops
      A2
And blows the whole damn thing to bits
  B                                  A2
Freezing are my fingertips in this cold
         B             C*     B     E
In this cold, cold town


 A2    E   (x4)

Verse 6:
A2            E
We make such different people
 B             F*
Climbing into different beds at night
A2              E
With both such different feelings
B           F*
Mine are overwhelming, are yours?

A2          E 
I might be screaming while you're
B               F*
Dreaming without any concern
A2         E               B
It took so long for me to find
              F* -----(hold).
That I can't try anymore


A2        E
And if I said I'm sorry
B               F*
Too many times before its cuz I
A2           E             B             B
Just wanted desperately to make you love me

A2              E
Darling, if the sun could shine in
 B                 F*
Brighter than all your distractions
A2             E
I would climb into him
   B               F*     A2     E      B      F*   
And light myself on fire


A2   E   B   F* (x4)  (no F* on last time)
                       
Repeat Riff 1 (x4)
