Em | Am | B7 | Em

Verse:
Em            Am   D               B7
  Before the dawn,   I hear your whisper
Em          Am          B7              Em
  In your sleep "Don't let the morning take him."
Em             Am   D           B7
  Outside the birds   begin to call
Em          Am    B7     Em
  As if to summon up my leaving.

Chorus:
C              G       E                Am
  It's been a lifetime   since I found someone,
C                G                  D   Dsus4:D
  Since I found someone who would stay.
C              G        E                 Am
  I've waited too long,   and now you're leaving;
Am7                 C            B7 ->
  Oh, please don't take it all away!
