   E                       B 
To work like the devil for Your pay 
        C#m                        A 
Was the old song that He used to sing 
                    E 
Before the waking hours 
           B                E     A E 
Rolled out across the open ground 

      E                                B 
Now I see Him through the window at a table  
              C#m                         A 
Drinking His coffee and talking about the days 
                     E 
Before the time that We knew  
          B                  A      E 
Would not return to this old town 

F#m            A           B                E 
 He's waiting for somebody else to save His day 
F#m             A               B  
 Or at least to see some light before  
          F#m    A           E     A E 
It fades away.....     Yeah, yeah 

    E                                  B 
To choose no companion It fell right in line 
             C#m                                  A 
With all the others she had known had laid by His side 
                      E 
Before the sleepless morning 
           B              E       A E 
Showed its face without a sound.  Without a sound 

     E                             B 
Now where did the time go all these years 
                C#m                                              A 
After the pictures had been burned And the names have all been cleared 
                    E 
From all that She remembers  
               B               A 
It adds up in time  To not a thing,  
          E 
No not a thing 

F#m            A            B                E 
 She's waiting for somebody else to save Her day 
F#m              A             B    
 Or at least to see His face before  
        F#m       A            E     A E 
He goes away......       Yeah,yeah,  Oh yeah 
               F#m       A               E      A E 
Before He goes away......    Oh.Yeah,Yeah,yeah,  
               F#m       A        
Before He goes away...... 
               F#m        
Before He goes away 
     A        
She just wants to see His face before He goes away 
F#m 
 Before He goes away  (Repeat to fade)
