Cooling Of The Embers(Chords)

	        



     C 
You put your hand on top of mine 
        G 
you're talking fast but talking blind 
       F                     C        G 
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes 



      C 
'cos death is slowly covering you 
    G 
in galaxies of black and blue 
    F                     C          G 
and under your skin all his colors bloom 



                 Dm 
And you're only half here 
      Am       G           Dm       Am       G 
like someone left a frail body and took the rest 



         C  F        Dm         
But I remember when you were strong 
 G                    C    F 
never wanted help from no-one 
      Dm                   G              C, Dm, G 
what you've become is not who I remember 
                                    C, Dm, Em, F, G 
Is this the cooling of the embers? 



       C 
She's back again through summers past 
      G 
the smell of rain and freshly cut grass 
             F                C              G 
seems those ordinary days are the ones that last 



     C 
Cos he was there, the one you loved 
    G 
the one you never could let go of 
             F                          C         G 
and there's something you know as you're looking up 



                Dm 
That your only half here 
      Am      G            Dm        Am       G 
like someone left a frail body and stole the rest 




         C  F        Dm         
But I remember when you were strong 
 G                    C    F 
never wanted help from no-one 
      Dm               G                 C, Dm, Em 
what you've become is not who I remember 
             F                      C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, F. G 
Is this the cooling of the embers? 
             Am            F 
is this the cooling of the embers? 



G            Am           F 
Cos you are not who I remember 
G                     Am               F 
it's like you are a child, you are a child, you are a child once more 
G               Am               F 
and all of our yesterday's have gone 



     C 
You put your hand on top of mine 
        G 
you're talking fast but talking blind 
       F                     C          G 
and I can't bring myself to meet your eyes...
