[Verse]

          Am         G
I saw the sign or an omen
       D       
On the branches, 
       Am
in the morning
       Em          G
It was right after I
       D              Am
Lost a friend without warning
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

Words unsaid
Am
Scarlet-red

Don't leave me behind
 
 
[Verse]

         Am          G
I took a walk in the city
            D          Am
To clear my head for a moment
          Em            G
Turned my collar to the wind
       D              Am
On the street, it was blowin'
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

    C
And there he was
 Am
Above my head
 
 
[Chorus]
