C#m7      Badd4                E
  Dearest friend, where do I begin
      C#m7  Badd4
These dusty keys must be played again
C#m7         Badd4           E
  Years gone by echo in your eyes
C#m7     Badd4
Scars of time like the patterns of the night

[Chorus - fingerpicked]
F#m11     E   Badd4
  Why are you alone
F#m11      E         Badd4
  Like the winter deserted by the birds I’ve seen you before
F#m11     E         Badd4
  In the  northern  lights
             F#m11  E  Badd4
I’ve seen you smile           I’ve seen you

C#m7      Badd4                           E
  Dearest friend, we’ve lost what we once knew
     C#m7   Badd4
I’ve kept a box of memories for you
C#m7             Badd4                        E
  And though you ran, and turned your back on me
     C#m7    Badd4
It’s not too late to see the good I see


[Chorus - strummed]
F#m11     E   Badd4
  Why are you alone
F#m11      E         Badd4
  Like the winter deserted by the birds I’ve seen you before
F#m11     E         Badd4
  In the  northern  lights
             F#m11  E  Badd4                G#m#5addA
I’ve seen you smiiiiiilllle  I’ve seen you
