VERSE:

I find it hard, hard to let go

Amaj7

And you are entitled to know

A7 D

You have brought nothing else but bliss,

Dm A F#m

A great deal of frustration, a voluntary occupation,

Bm Dm A

Driving me insane and off the wall

VERSE:

And we were free to choose each other

Amaj7

But now it seems like something other

A7 D

Have you placed me where I stand?

Dm A F#m

Turned caring like a mother, afraid to lose each other

Bm Dm Dm6

It got us this far, now problems are:

REFRAIN:

A C# D Dm

I have no bags to pack, no suitcase waiting in the hall

A F#m F E

You have no make-up, no stocki - ings in my drawer

A F#m Bm E A

Oh-oh, how did we forge - et? How could we forget?

F#m Bm E A

It's easy to lear - earn if you never regret

[INTERLUDE]

VERSE:

When you live in paranoia

Amaj7

And you know she's got you, oh yeah

A7 D

You can't leave until you know the truth

Dm A F#m

So for months you're going nowhere until you seize the day

Bm Dm A

And place yourself behind the steering wheel

VERSE:

Or you can't end like you don't want to,

Amaj7

The opposite of what you planned to

A7 D

You can watch the ships when they're abroad

Dm A F#m

Become a joke when people see you, 'cause it's enough to please you

Bm Dm Dm6 A

You got this far, step put of the car

[repeat CHORUS]

We'll try to make it easy now

Once I believed we could approach this,

A F#m Bm Dm6 A

Now I have faith placed in the things you call fa - ate

Dm Dm6 A

In the things you call fa - ate

Dm A

In the things you call fate
