D                                        Dsus4    D
Crown of leaves, high in the window on a gold morning
D                              Dsus4  D
Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow
Dsus2    D                             Dsus4  D                   
Days are just drops in the river to be lost always
Dsus2 D
Only you, only you, you know.

--VERSE 2 (1:20) :

D                                         Dsus4 D
Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly
D                                           Dsus4 D
Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy
Dsus2  D                                     Dsus4 D
On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence
Dsus2 D             
Only you, only you, you know.


--CHORUS: with electric strumming (1:56)

D                                         C                     D
Here as the caves of my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one
D                                          C                    D
I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made
A6           D6sus2
Let it go
