Verse 1

G                        D7
Today I'm like a leaf in autumn
                        G
Never again to know the spring
                          D7
Today my heart is at rock bottom
       A7                 D7
Sorrow nothing else could bring

Verse 2

          G              D7      G
But those words you told me just today
             D7           G
You said I'm only in your way
                             D7
You left me and what could I say
                   G
For my world ended today

Verse 3

                            D7
I turned and gazed into the darkness
                        G
But no tomorrow could I see
                           D7
And I remember your remark yes
  A7                 D7
I recall our used to be

Verse 4

  G      D7       G
I have a treasure yesterday
          D7             G
Something you can't take away
                            D7
I'm lost I'll never find my way
                   G
For my world ended today
