Capo on 1st fret
 
[Intro]
Em A Em A
 
[Verse 1]
Em                         A
 A single rose left to remember
Em                                 A
 As a single tear falls from her eye
Em                       A
 Another cold day in December
G                  A
 A view from the day she said goodbye
 
Em                           A
 It seems it's only been a moment
Em                                   A
 Since the angels took him from her arms
Em
 She was left there
A
Holding on to their tomorrow
G                A
 But as they lay him in the ground
G                   A
 Her heart would sing without a sound
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                                      D
 For the first time you can open your eyes
    Em
And see the world without your sorrow
G                                A
No-one knows the pain you left behind
 
[Chorus]
Bm                              D
 Or the peace you could never find
     Em
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
G
Welcome to the first day of your life
                    Em    A   Em       A
Just open up your eyeeeeees,  eyeeeeees
 
[Verse]
Em                            A
 A single lifetime waves behind her
Em                        A
 As she draws her final breath
Em                           A
 Just beyond the door he'll find her
G              A
 Taking her hand he softly says
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                                      D
 For the first time you can open your eyes
    Em
And see the world without your sorrow
G                               A
No-one knows the pain you left behind
 
[Chorus]
Bm                              D
 Or the peace you could never find
     Em
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
G
Welcome to the first day of your life
 
[Bridge]
                    C
Just open up your eyes
                Em
As I lay down tonight
      D/F#   G
Safe on the other side
C                A
No more tears to cry
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                                      D
 For the first time you can open your eyes
    Em
And see the world without your sorrow
G                               A
No-one knows the pain you left behind
 
[Chorus]
Bm                              D
 Or the peace you could never find
     Em
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
G
Welcome to the first day of your life
                    Em    A   Em       A
Just open up your eyeeeeees,  eyeeeeees
Em    A   Em       A
Eyeeeeees,  eyeeeeees
