C majorC           E MajorE
When I wrote you that letter
A minorAm          G+G
You'd already made up your mind
C majorC    A minorAm        F#F#
All my words were writ in vain
C majorC        E MajorE
When I called you up that day
A minorAm         G+G     C majorC   A minorAm   F#F#
I was only calling up to say hello
     C majorC     E MajorE     A minorAm   G+G
But goodbye
          C majorC                A minorAm    F#F#
Was the words that you'd been thinking 'bout for days

C majorC                      E MajorE
Didn't know that you were going to leave me
A minorAm                  G+G
Wish I knew the way to make you come home
A minorAm                 F#F#
What can I do if this is right for you

A minorAm      C majorC       G+G      D MajorD
I have not been perfect for you
 A minorAm      C majorC         G+G   D MajorD
Know I think I was back at the start
A minorAm       C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
You have no more patience for me
A minorAm           C majorC       G+G   D MajorD
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
C majorC          E MajorE
All those times I wasn't there
A minorAm           G+G
The times you thought I didn't care
C majorC        A minorAm        F#F#
I hope you can believe I thought of you
C majorC          E MajorE
Cause you were everything I needed
A minorAm                  G+G
I've been selfish and so self absorbed
E MajorE            A minorAm       F#F#
I thought that you'd be waiting when I reached the other side
C majorC          E MajorE       A minorAm       G+G
Last night I put my arms around another woman's waist
C majorC            A minorAm        F#F#
The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced

C majorC            E MajorE
Great love can bring greater pain
A minorAm         G+G
I hope I fall in love again
E MajorE        A minorAm         F#F#
What can I do if this is right for you

A minorAm      C majorC       G+G       D MajorD
I have not been perfect for you
 A minorAm         C majorC        G+G   D MajorD
I like to think I was back at the start
A minorAm       C majorC      G+G     D MajorD
You have no more patience for me
A minorAm           C majorC       G+G     D MajorD    F#F#
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart

(Lots of ladada with refrain chords)

E MajorE      A minorAm
I want the best for you
C majorC     F#F#        C majorC
and now I realize that isn't me
      A minorAm        C majorC
I haven't been the man you need
      F#F#     E MajorE
I wish I'd been able to be
E MajorE     A minorAm       C majorC      F#F#        E MajorE
I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired
    E MajorE        C majorC           A minorAm      F#F#
And that I made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired

A minorAm      C majorC       G+G    D MajorD
I have not been perfect for you
 A minorAm            C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
I wish we could go back and just restart
A minorAm       C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
You have no more patience for me
A minorAm           C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart

Drift apart

(lots of ladada to the refrain chords)
