E7 A A7sus4 A7 A7/9 D F#m D6 My world is like a river, as dark as it is deep; E Cdim E7 D9 Fdim Cdim E7 Fdim E7 Bm5-/7 A Night after night the past slips in and gathers all my sleep. E7 A A7sus4 A7 A7/9 A7 D F#m D6 My days are just an endess stream of emptiness to me, B7 D D7M D6 A F#m D9 Dm6 Fdim A Filled only by the fleeting moments of her memory. E7 A C#7 F#m B7 Sweet memories, sweet memories A F#m D9 E7 A Mmmmmmmmmmm. E7 A A7sus4 A7 A7/9 A7 D F#m D6 She slipped into the silence of my dreams again last night; E Cdim E7 D9 Fdim Cdim E7 Fdim E7 Bm5-/7 A Wandering from room to room, she's turning on each light. E7 A A7sus4 A7 A7/9 A7 D F#m D6 Her laughter spills like water from the river to the sea, B7 D D7M D6 A F#m D9 Dm6 Fdim A And I'm swept away from sadness, clinging to her memory. E7 A C#7 F#m B7 Sweet memories, sweet memories A F#m D9 D6/9 E7 E7sus4 F Dm6 A M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mm.
