Amelia Lyrics
Hey - so the other versions are not quite perfect - so I really wanted to put a version
that is as close to the real thing as possible
I've worked this out from watching an live acoustic video of the band:

Hopefully the spacing works out right!

Verse 1: Silence
I think about you
every single day
And every time
I see your face
I wake and it
brings me to tears
We hadn't spoken in years
We were close when we
were young and naive
We grew up and we
learned other things
You'll always be sweet 16
Chorus 1:
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
Verse 2: Distorted Power chords +clean riff)
I miss you and it still
feels like I know you
I've got pictures of us
side by side to show you
But it feels like I owe
you so much more
Chorus 2: Distorted
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
And it just doesn't seem right
was it really your time?
Are we dreaming?
We'll never let go of you
Wish you were here but
it's becoming clear
That Earth's just not the
place for an angel like you
For an angel like you
Bridge:
You meant so much to so many
I'm not quite sure how
to do justice to you
If they're ready to say
G/F# Dsus4(V)
goodbye I know i'm not
You made the news and the
papers for days and days
But it hardly seems fair
The whole world should
know your name
G/F# Dsus4(V)
I want them to know your name
Interlude: Em--D--C--D--
Chorus 3:
Clean:
And you will always be perfect
You'll always be beautiful
Distortion:
Our hearts will never forget you
You didn't belong here
And it's become so clear
Why heaven called your name
And it just doesn't seem
right was it
really your time?
Are we dreaming?
We'll never let go of you
Wish you were here but
it's becoming clear
That Earth's just not the
place for an angel like you
G/B (intro riff)
For an angel like you
Outro:
And now we must let
you move forward
Our love lies with you
C* G(5)(hold)
Our souls fly with you Amelia
