A7A7            G7G7
Where were you when I was fallin down
          A7A7
Buzzin' round your heart
             G7G7
Why'd you wait till I was moving on
          F# minorF#m
To come out of the dark
        C#7C#7
To say I'm what you need
  A augmentedA          BB
And you could spend your life with me

And countin the ways that I loved you
A7A7
Good long while since I found
D7D7     G7G7               F# minorF#m
Good enough reasons to stop believin' that you
      C#7C#7
Are what I really want
  D MajorD    A augmentedA   B7B7
And now that you do baby, I don't

But sometimes time runs out

And I can't help you now
