[Intro]

Cm         Ab
As I grow older
Bb          Gm
Winds grow colder
Ab        Bb          Eb
Memories fade on the breeze


[Verse 1]

Cm                  Ab        Bb            Gm
Years flow through rivers of thoughts that shimmer and
Ab     Eb               Bb
Dance beneath coloured skies
     Cm       Ab       Bb              Gm
But daylight fades as light turns to shade and
Ab        Bb          Eb
Darkness touches our eyes


[Chorus]

Ab             Bb               Gm           Cm
We hold the fragments of these lives in our hands
     Ab           Eb        Bb
But autumn winds blow them away
    Ab         Bb          Gm          Cm
We try to hold on but the wind is so strong
     Ab        Bb     Eb
And winter is on its way


[Verse 2]

 Cm             Ab            Bb         Gm
And all that I have are some old photographs
         Ab      Eb            Bb
Of days lost in dreams of the past
      Cm      Ab         Bb      Gm
With smiling faces and familiar places
        Ab        Bb          Eb
Summer days that could never last

[Verse 3]

Cm                   Ab           Bb      G
Sometimes when I'm dreaming they call to me
       Ab           Eb          Bb
And I reach out to touch their hands
      Cm             Ab                  Bb                Gm
But daylight comes creeping through my thoughts as I lie sleeping
          Ab           Bb              Eb
And they vanish like grains of summer sand


[Chorus]

Ab            Bb                Gm           Cm
We hold the fragments of these lives in our hands
     Ab           Eb        Bb
But autumn winds blow them away
    Ab          Bb         Gm          Cm
We try to hold on but the wind is too strong
    Ab         Gm      Cm
And winter is here to stay
