[Intro]
Am F C F C G Am
[Verse 1]
Am C F
Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well
C C/B Am G F
He was alone into his distance, He was deep into his well
C C/B Am G F
I could guess what he was laughing at, But I couldn't really tell
Am G Am G F Am
Now the story's told that Adam jumped, But I'm thinking that he fell
[Verse 2]
Am C F
Together we went travelling, as we received the call
C C/B Am G F
His destination India, and I had none at all
C C/B Am G F
Well I still remember laughing, with our backs against the wall
Am G Am G F Am G
So free of fear we never thought, that one of us might fall
[Chorus 1]
F C F C
I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way
F Am
Now this story unfolds before my candle
C G
Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
Am G
Well I feel just like a candle in a way
F C G F C F C G
I guess I'll get there but I wouldn't say__ for sure
[Verse 3]
Am C F
When we parted we were laughing still, as our goodbyes were said
C C/B Am G F
And I never heard from him again, as each our lives we led
C C/B Am G F
except for once in someone else's letter that I read
Am G Am G F Am G
Until I head the sudden word, that a friend of mine was dead
[Chorus 2]
F C F C
I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way
F Am
Now this journey appears before my candle
C G
as a song that's growing fainter, the harder I play
Am G
well I fear before I am I'll fade away
F C G F C F C G
But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say___ for sure
[Verse 4]
Am C F
Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long
C C/B Am G F
And when I stood myself beside him, I never thought I was as strong
C C/B Am G F
still it seemed he stopped his singing in the middle of his song
Am G Am G F Am G
well I'm not the one to say I know but I'm hoping he was wrong
[Chorus 3]
F C F C
I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my way
F Am
now this story's been layed beneath my candle
C G
and it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day
Am G
yes I feel just like a candle in a way
F C G F C F C G
I hope I'll get there but I'll never pray
[Outro]
