August in Bethany

E                     B             A
With the sound of the ocean crashing

7:30 Friday evening
     E           B        A
Everything comes tumbling down
                  E               B
I choke back each tear that bleeds
                   A
I'd rather rest forever in your arms
           E              B
I'd rather stay here than go
                         A
but I know that I should leave
              (Start Riff 1)
As I sit here helpless

                                             played by a second guitar
               B            A                until the end of the verse.
I think of our time together

Is it fading, am I dreaming
     E         B          A
Everything you said lives on
              E         B
I cherish our memories
                    A
I want to kiss your tears away tonight
             E           B
It's hard to give up the one
                        A
You never thought you'd leave

Your eyes, they see through my soul

Don't go

Don't go
    E             B        A
You say as I walk out your door.
