_ _ _ [Bm] Looking back, well I see [G] you with eyes that shouldn't be so blue, [D] clearer than the calm
before the [A] rain. _ _
_ _ [Bm] You were so _ alive it wasn't fair [G] to live without a single care.
[D] I loved you and you felt for me the [A] same. _ _
_ _ [Em] So beautiful that words could [G] not define, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] sweeter than the Lord's communion [A] _ _ wine. _
_ _ _ [G] _ Evangeline, _ _ can't you see [D] I'm sorry? _ _
Can't you hear [G] my _ tears ringing through [A] the night? _ _
I wait [D] in _ _ [A] hell between [Bm] these bed _ [G] sheets and pray [D] to God _ [A]
for morning [D] _ light. _ _

_ _ [Bm] Then winter came and blood ran [G] cold as ever, present _ sleet and snow [D] outside of a _ December [A] window pane. _ _
_ And [Bm] this house would never be our [G] home.
Little hand in hand we walked alone, [D] I thought the sun would never shine [A] _ again. _ _
_ And [Em] the oldest violin could never [G] whine, _ _ _ _ _ [Em] a melody as _ sorrowful [A] as _ _ mine.
_ _ _ [G] _ Evangeline, _ _ can't you see [D] I'm sorry? _ _

_ Now [Bm] I've seen your face a thousand times, [G] nightmares running through my mind.
[D] _ _ _ Hurts just to [A] _ pretend. _ _
_ But [Bm] the devil fell and so have I.
[G] From perfect grace your face, the sky, [D] I never thought a love like this [A] would end. _ _
_ Now [Em] your words have cut right through me like [G] a knife. _ _ _
_ _ [Em] I gave my love, now I take [A] my _ _ life.
_ _ _ [G] Evangeline, _ _ can't you see [D] I'm sorry? _ _
Can't you hear [G] my _ _ tears ringing through [A] the _ night? _
