[Verse]
Well there's Bbno use hGm7anging ontBbmaj7o anythingEb  
That you can'Bbt take wGm7ith you whBbmaj7en you're gEbone:
The Gm7wind at your Gm7/Fheels
The shaEbdow so Ebmaj7sweet of seCmntimental longBbing for the Bbmaj7past
All these tBbmaj7hings uncaptCm7ured, gonBbmaj7e, or might havEbmaj7e been
In the sBbmaj7low, dull dyiGmng of the dDay
I pGmonder on Bbthese thingCs I've donEbmaj7e
A hCm7eart I could have cFhosen not to brBbeakEb  
[Chorus]
But Bb7oh, I rBban, I ran so eaEbmaj7sily
CasBb7ting no shadow in my waEbmaj7keGm  
In Cm7chase, so manFm7ly, then I Gm7soon get C7bored
And hCm7oney, I'm such a Fflake
[Verse]
So the rBboad won't rGm7ise to meet Bbmaj7me as I goEb  
And this Bbfeckless hGm7eart knows no Dreward
For Gmall my lies, BbI apologCizeEb  
It was Cm7me, it wasn't Fyou
And now I kBbnow

CasBb7ting no shadow in my waEbmaj7keGm  
In Cm7chase, so manly, theGm7n I soon C7get bored
And hCm7oney, I'm such a Fflake
[Verse]
Still, it Bbdoes no gGm7ood for one to Bbmaj7think of thEbmaj7ings
That you cBban't do Gm7anything abDout
But in solGm7itary hours, I C7think of you noEbmaj7w

[Verse]

Bb Gm7 Bbmaj7 Eb

Well there's no use hanging onto anything

Bb Gm7 Bbmaj7 Eb

That you can't take with you when you're gone:

Gm7 Gm7/F

The wind at your heels

Eb Ebmaj7 Cm Bb Bbmaj7

The shadow so sweet of sentimental longing for the past

Bbmaj7 Cm7 Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7

All these things uncaptured, gone, or might have been

Bbmaj7 Gm D

In the slow, dull dying of the day

Gm Bb C Ebmaj7

I ponder on these things I've done

Cm7 F Bb Eb

A heart I could have chosen not to break

[Chorus]

Bb7 Bb Ebmaj7

But oh, I ran, I ran so easily

Bb7 Ebmaj7 Gm

Casting no shadow in my wake

Cm7 Fm7 Gm7 C7

In chase, so manly, then I soon get bored

Cm7 F

And honey, I'm such a flake

[Verse]

Bb Gm7 Bbmaj7 Eb

So the road won't rise to meet me as I go

Bb Gm7 D

And this feckless heart knows no reward

Gm Bb C Eb

For all my lies, I apologize

Cm7 F

It was me, it wasn't you

And now I know

[Verse]

Bb Gm7 Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7

Still, it does no good for one to think of things

Bb Gm7 D

That you can't do anything about

Gm7 C7 Ebmaj7

But in solitary hours, I think of you now

It was me, it wasn't you
