I Ctold him that I loved someCsus4one
Yeah, that's my old Ccar out there
In the parking Csus4lot
I Csaw him when he first walked Csus4in
I Cthought it was a vision of Csus4him
He was looking like Cwhere he had Csus4been
Looking kind of CfragileCsus4  
Refrain:
He said AmI read the Csus4Bible every Gday
Tryin' to keep the demons at Ambay
Thank AmGod when the sun goes down
GI don't blow away
My friend said, was he always like that
I said yeah, but he was never this bad
I remember us playing for nickels and dimes
Out on the corner
I asked him to marry me once
He told me he couldn't because
This would be all that there was
(Refrain)
He was laughing but I didn't get the joke
He was dying to light up a smoke
And I wanted to cry
In the florescent light of the restaurant
I smiled and I got up to go
I was hoping for a goodbye to hold
But it was kind of like touching a ghost
So I ran when I walked out
(Refrain)
I got in my car and I drove
Over the bridge to the coast
Wondering where does old love go
