       G    F#    Em        D       C 

Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him well, 

        G      F#     Em     D        C             D 

He was alone into his distance, he was deep into his well. 

        G          F#     Em       D         C 

I could guess what he was laughing at, but I couldn't really tell. 

        G       F#        Em   D               C                Em 

Now the story's told that Adam jumped, but I'm thinking that he fell. 

 

  G      F#      Em       D   C 

Together we went traveling as we received the call. 

    G    F#     Em  D     C             D 

His destination India, and I had none at all. 

        G       F#     Em       D        C 

Well, I still remember laughing with our backs against the wall. 

   G       F#      Em    D            C               Em D 

So free of fear we never thought that one of us might fall. 

 

C                    G                C                          G 

I sit before my only candle, but it's so little light to find my way. 

         C                       Em 

Now this story unfolds before my candle, 

         G                        D 

Which is shorter every hour as it reaches for the day. 

      C                            D 

But I feel just like a candle in a way. 

 

              C                         G D     C 

I guess I'll get there, but I wouldn't say for sure. 

 

        G      F#      Em       D        C 

When we parted we were laughing still as our goodbyes were said. 

      G     F#         Em   D       C                   D 

And I never heard from him again as each our lives were led. 

  G        F#      Em      D      C 

Except for once in someone else's letter I once read. 

  G     F#        Em     D           C                  Em D 

Until I heard the sudden word that a friend of mine was dead. 

 

C                    G              C                       G 

I sit before my only candle, like a pilgrim sits beside the way. 

         C                         Em 

Now this journey appears before my candle 

     G                                D 

As a song that's growing fainter, the harder I play, 

       C                            D 

'Til I fear before I end will fade away. 

                 C                            G D     C 

But I guess I'll get there, though I wouldn't say for sure. 

 

       G    F#    Em        D       C 

Though Adam was a friend of mine, I did not know him long. 

           G       F#     Em     D         C                D 

And when I stood myself beside him, I never thought I was as strong. 

         G        F#          Em             C 

Still it seems he stopped his singing in the middle of his song. 

         G       F#     Em    D             C             Em D 

Well I'm not the one to say I know, but I'm hoping he was wrong. 

  

C                       G                   C                          G 

I'm holding out my only candle, though it's so little light to find my way. 

         C                            Em 

Now this story's been laid beneath my candle, 

         G                        D 

And it's shorter every hour as it reaches for the day. 

       C                            D 

Yes, I feel just like a candle in a way. 

         C                      G D C 

I hope I get there, but I never pray.
