She wants so much to say

Emadd9 Cmaj7

The things she thought about today

He never dreamed that she could care

He's lookin' everywhere

And as the years go by

No matter who you blame

It's still a cryin' shame

So they think of good times past

Emadd9 Cmaj7

And all the things they thought would last

Now there they go again

E7 Am

A different where and when

D B7 Emadd9

It's too late to defend

Cmaj7

Those feelings on the cuff

Emadd9 Cmaj7

And when they think they've had enough

Dadd9 D/F# G

All the things they saved before

E7 Am

Love became a chore

D B7 Emadd9

Will live for evermore

[Chorus]
