[Verse 1]
E                        B                               E
    Sometimes Im so afraid that one day I will lie awake
                     B                  
In this bed we’ve made and you’ll be just a memory
A                   B                       E
The cancer took all your breath away from me
                      B                               E
What I’d miss the most is laughing at your awful jokes
                 B
And the certainty that you would never hurt me 
A                           B                    E 
But life’s not fair and we only get so much time

[Chorus 1] 
E               B    E          B       A            B
The bell is tolling, it’s softly pulling all of us to sleep
E              B       E        B         A                       B
The loved ones we lose will stay with you, in your heart and in your dreams
   A                        
The physical is just a means

[Verse 2]
E         B                          E
What I’d do in this world without you 
                            B        
Is climb the highest mountain so we could be together again
A                 B                     A                      B
I’d starve and I’d freeze to death under star dust of your eyes

[Chorus 2]
E               B    E          B       A            B
The bell is tolling, it’s softly pulling all of us to sleep
E              B       E        B         A                       B
The loved ones we lose will stay with you, in your heart and in your dreams
   A                 B
The physical is just a means

[Bridge]
E                 B         E                      B
Everyone I’ve ever loved will fade away into the sun
A                            B
Everything that I am now will rust away
E              B              E                     B
Do not fear the fading light, eternally this is what’s right
A                                 B                              A                           B
Maybe what you thought was God was really just the love that you had for the ones who you can’t live without

[Chorus 2]
E               B    E          B       A            B
The bell is tolling, it’s softly pulling all of us to sleep
E              B       E        B         A                       B
The loved ones we lose will stay with you, in your heart and in your dreams
   A                 B
The physical is just a means
