Though Adam was a friend [C#] of mine, [F#] I did not know him well.
He [C#] was alone [G#] into his [A#m] distance, [G#]
he [F#] was deep into his well.
I [C#] could [Fm] guess what he [A#m] was laughing [G#] at, [F#] but I couldn't really tell.
[A#m] Now the story's told that Adam [G#] jumped, [F#] but I'm thinking that [A#] he fell.
[A#m]
Together we went [C#] traveling [F#] as we received the call.
[C#] His [Fm] destination [C#] India, [F#] and I had none at all.
Well I [C#] still [Fm] remember [C#] laughing with our [F#] backs against the wall.
So [A#] free of fear we [A#m] never [G#] thought [F#] that one of us might [A#m] fall.
[G#] [F#] I sit before my [C#] only candle, [F#] but it's so little light to find my [C#] way.
Now this [F#] story unfolds [G#] before my [A#m] candle,
which is shorter [C#] every hour as it [G#] reaches for the day.
Well [A#m] I feel just like a candle away.
[Fm]
I guess I'll get [F#] there, but I wouldn't [C#] say
[G#] [F#] for sure.

[F#]
[C#]
[G#] When we [A#m] parted we were [C#] laughing still as [F#] our goodbyes were said.
[C#] And I never heard from him again [F#] as each our lives we led.
[C#] Except [Fm] for once in [A#m] someone [G#] else's [F#] letter that I read.
[A#] Until I [G#] heard the [A#m] sudden [G#] word that [A#m] a friend of mine was dead.
[G#]
[F#] I sit before my [C#] only candle like
[F#] a pilgrim who sits beside the [C#] way.
Now this [F#] journey appears [G#] before my [A#m] candle as [C#] a song that's growing fainter.
[G#] The harder I play, the lot [A#m] fear before I end up [Fm] fade away.
But I guess I'll [F#] get there, though I wouldn't [C#] say [G#]
[F#] for sure.

[A#m] Though Adam was a friend [C#] of mine, [F#]
I did not know him long.
And [C#] when I stood [Fm] myself [A#m] beside [C#] him, I [F#] never thought I wasn't strong.
Still [C#] it seems [Fm] he stopped [A#m] his singing [G#] [F#] in the middle of his song.
Well [A#] I'm not the [G#] one to [A#m] say I [G#] know, but [F#] I'm hoping he [A#m] was wrong.
[G#] [F#] I'm holding out my only [C#] candle, though [F#] it's so little light to find [C#] my way.
Now this [F#] story's been laid [G#] beneath my [A#m] candle.
And it's shorter [C#] every hour as it [G#] reaches for the day.
Yes [A#m] I feel just like a candle in [Fm] the way.
I hope [F#] I get there, but I'll never [C#] pray.
