verse 1: 
                G    F#m  
When we were together     
                Bm Bm/A G 
I lay in your river 
        G           A        Bm   Bm/A Bm 
As the fish swam through my hands 
               G    F#m  
Raindrops and roses  
                Bm   Bm/A G 
fell from the heavens 
          G      A           D  Dsus4 D 
Just to brush against your skin 
                      G  F#m  
And a strand of your hair  
             Bm Bm/A G 
lost to the wind 
       G               A         D  Dsus4 D 
Sent doves wheeling through the air 

G A D Dsus4 D But now I'm alone in the petrified forest G A Bm Bm/A Bm Stumbling on rocks in the dark G A D Dsus4 D But I remember, I still remember G A D Dsus4 D When you held me in your beautiful arms

verse 2: G F#m When you left me alone Bm Bm/A G the sky turned to stone G A Bm Bm/A Bm And my legs rolled into the sea G F#m Why did you go? Bm Bm/A G The sea was so cold G A D Dsus4 D My arms blew off in the breeze G F#m I search for your footprints, Bm Bm/A G the scent of roses G A D Dsus4 D As the wind weeps over the sea
G A D Dsus4 D But now I'm alone in the petrified forest G A Bm Bm/A Bm Stumbling on rocks in the dark G A D Dsus4 D And I remember, I'll always remember G A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm Bm/A Bm When you held me in your beautiful arms
