Intro: A-F#m-A-D
          E-F#m-D-E-

  A        F#m
   Softly, gently
  A              D
   I will let you down
    E          F#m
   'Cause I don't love you
   D         E
   In the same way now

  A        F#m
   I can hold you
  A                     D
   But not with lover's arms
     E         F#m
   'Cause you are more of
    D              E
   A brother to me now

           Bridge
          D        F#m
   And I can lie next to you
            Bm         E
   But I can't lie to you

            Chorus
        D                 A
   So I'll walk into the sun 
               D          A
   And watch me run into the rain 
        D               F#m        
   For you the future's easy
            Bm       E
   So don't weep for me
          A    E
   Its getting steep

  A         F#m
   I loved you for
  A              D
   Exactly who you are
    E           F#m
   And I'd say you've come
     D         E
   The nearest yet by far

   (Repeat Bridge)

   (Repeat Chorus except last word)

             D
      ... steeper
                 F#m
   And in the dark that where I want to be
     D
   Deeper
                     E
   I'm going somewhere you don't want to see

   Adlib: D-F#m-Bm-A-G-A-E-

   (Repeat Chorus except last line)

        D                 A
   So I'll walk into the sun 
               D          A
   And watch me run into the rain 
        D               F#m        
   For you the future's easy
            Bm      
   So don't weep 
         E
   Yes I will watch you

   (Repeat Chorus except last word)

              D-A
      ... steep
