C- F C- F
/
Than you ever have returned
Now solitude is fine
When you really need it
When your soul is dry
Sometimes loneliness can feed it
When you need a lover
You know there^?s nothin^? else will do
When you need love most
You know it turns it^?s back on you
Fallin love too easily
But never quite so fast
so you are not the first and, lord
You sure won^?t be the last
The thing about the situation
I could^?ve been the best old friend
That you have ever had
| = bar line; / = play same as previous chord
No bar line = chord gets entire measure's time
Within bar lines chords divide measure accordingly
