[Outro 1]
[Em]Wher[D]e have all the[G] feelings gone?[D]
[Em]Why is the d[D]eadliest sin,
To [Em]love [D]as I loved you?

[Dm]My t[C]ale is[F] the most bitter t[C]ruth
[Dm]Time[C] pays us but w[Dm]ith earth & d[C]ust[Dm]
[C]And a dark, [G]silent grave.

Remember, my [Dm]child[C]
Without [Dm]innocence the [C]cross
is only [F]iron,[C]
[Dm]Hope is [C]only an illusion
[Dm]And the ocea[C]n soul's
[Dm]Noth[C]ing but a name[G]
The [Dm]child [C]bless thee
And [Dm]keep thee fo[C]rever
[Fade out]
