 C                    Em        F                         G7
 Waiting for Julia to die, I've cried all the tears I can cry.
 C                              Em
 I've spent all these years with her by my side, 
         F             G7         C
 Now I'm watching her learning to fly.

 C                         Em                        
 We met in the day when we promised to stay
          F                       G7
but she's mostly away, somewhere else
C                          Em   
Guess I could leave too, maybe find someone new
     F           G7        C
 but how could I live with myself.

    Am                            Em
 We roamed 'round the world, as such was our world
         F                              G
 and we laughed with each other through life.
    Am                       Em
 We faced all the perils and weathered the storms,
        F                         G                 
 ah but this one's too big to get by.
