When They Told Me

D 
When they told me 
                   Bm 
That you had to go away 
G                           A              D 
There was nothing I could do to keep you here 
       Bm                                         G 
I was standing on the rooftop of a hospital in Baltimore 
  A                                       D 
Losing my religion and my youth 


      F#m                      Bm 
             I thought Id never love again 
                    G                          D 
             And I did not even care to see my friends 
                       F#m             Bm 
             How would I ever smile again 
                            Em 
             This depression is a monster 
                   A                            D 
             But im still alive to see the light of day 


Verse: 
      D 
When they told me 
             Bm 
That I had to let you go 
          G                 A 
Words could not describe my feelings 
             D 
You will never know 
              Bm                             G 
standing on the rooftop of a hospital in Baltimore 
               A                           D 
Losing my religion and my youth 



              F#m                      Bm 
             I thought Id never love again 
                    G                           D 
             And I did not even care to see my friends 
                       F#m                    Bm 
             How would I ever smile again 
                            Em 
             This depression is a monster 
                        A                   D 
             But Im still alive to see the light of day
