   Hollow As A Bone



( intro )

Am C Em Am


( 1st verse)


    Am                      C
She hugged his head so hard to her heart
   Em                 Am
it made her gasp for air
                    C
If this was not the way love felt
         Em                Am
then for love she did not care
                       G                    Em               Am
I want to run beside a moving train yelling farewells in the rain
                            G
The tears that fall will be bittersweet
        Em                 Am
cause I know I'll see him again.

Em      F       G
If I lost you now
                Em          Am     C   Em  Am
I would feel as hollow as a bone




( 2nd verse)

   Am                 C          
He could not help but hang his eyes
    Em              Am
her beauty held him so.
                G  
If it was not a state of grace
      Em                Am
then grace  he'd never know.
                               G
I want to yell farewell from a crowed pier
     Em                    Am
just me and a thousand good-byes
                            G
The tears that fall will be bittersweet
      Em                         Am
cause soon she'll be back at my side.


Em      F       G
If I lost you now
                Em          Am     C   Em  Am
I would feel as hollow as a bone

Am                  C
You won't lose me , he replied
   Em                        Am
together our lives have been sewn.
              C
If I lost you now
                Em           Am
I would feel as hollow  as a bone.
                             G
We will kiss goodnight under starlit skies
        Em                   Am
whisper oaths at a lumbering moon,
                             G
dream sweet dreams until the morning comes
     Em                      Am
and serves us the dawn in our room


Em            F   G               Em          Am      C   Em   F
If I lost you now I would feel as hollow as a bone
Am            C   G               Em          Am      C   F    Em
If I lost you now I would feel as hollow as a bone
Am            C   G               Em          Am      C   Em   F
If I lost you now I would feel as hollow as a bone
Am            C   F               Em          Am
If I lost you now I would feel as hollow as a bone
