This is the saddest, but in my opinion the most beautiful song on the album.
THIS SONG IS CAPOED AT 2ND FRET.
All chords are named as if the capo was the nut.
Sign ! means strum upwards.
Chords used:
Intro:
Verse:
Who knew love would come walkin' through my door
Turn the light on somewhere down inside
Give me a feeling I'd never had before
It was a long wait
it was just the wrong time
Bridge:
!Em C
But I hope you'll hold me now
somewhere within
!Em C
And when you think about
what might have been
Chorus:
Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me
(Repeat intro)
Verse:
And how do you argue with a feeling in your bones
'bout what is and what isn't meant to be
Some things you live with
And you never let it show
Like the pain I felt
The day I watched you leave
Bridge:
!Em C
But I hope you'll think of me
When tender winds blow
!Em C
Sit on the shores of love
And just let it go
(Repeat Chorus)
Solo (accordion, arranged for guitar):
e---------0---2---0------- -----------0---2---3----5h7h5---3--3--
Solo can also be played like this:

Outro:
That's it!
I have also transcribed the leading bass riff. It's played with no capo.
Here it is:
