[Db] We were together since [B] we were five, she was so pretty

[Db] At seventeen [B] we were wed
I'd work day and night, to earn our ^[C] daily [Db] bread
And every day Emma would go out [B] searching for that play
That never, ^[C] ever [Db] came her way

You know sometimes she'd come home, [B] so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room, ^[C] feel [Db] so distressed
And I'd remember back when [B] she was five

A love letter lying on ^[C] the [Db] bedroom floor

VERSE 5:
It read: Darling I [B] love you
But I just can't keep on living ^[C] on [Db] dreams no more
I tried so very hard not to [B] leave you alone
I just can't keep ^[C] on [Db] trying no more
