Em9         Em
Never say goodbye
                       Dmaj7
You're the apple of my eye
Em9                   Em
The bells I hear them ring
                               Dmaj7
And in the churchyard children sing
        Em
For so long
        Dmaj7
For so long
              Em
I've soldiered on
       Dmaj7
For so long

Em9                     Em
Another blessed morning comes
                     Dmaj7
Thy will on earth be done
Em9                 Em
Blundered into the abyss
                            Dmaj7
To seek the wonders of your kiss
Em9                     Em
I still can taste your lips
                   Dmaj7
My hands upon your hips
       Em
For so long
       Dmaj7
For so long
               Em
I've soldiered on
       Dmaj7
For so long


[Bridge]
Em / Dmaj7


                         Am
As the stars they slowly die
                          Gmaj7
Thunder cracks across the sky
                                    Am
These are the words I've longed to say:
                      Gmaj7
Be with me, my love, always
                                              Am
But no our moonlit silhouettes they part and fade
                                        Gmaj7
I'm left with a loneliness that has no name
        Am
For so long
        Gmaj7
For so long
             Am
I'll soldier on
        Gmaj7
For so long

             Am
Never say goodbye
                       Gmaj7
You're the apple of my eye
