Verse:
G
And you're far too far away
Bm
It's been years since we spoke
A
But I wonder if you think

Of you and I, I can only hope
Bm
With a new man in your head
D
And a new home for your heart
A

Our romance is long dead
G
But a friend is what I lost

Chorus:
G
And take me back to St. Ives

Kept warm in winter nights

Harps played by candlelight

Oo-oo-oo-oh oh oo-oh

Verse:
G
I made a fool of myself
Bm
Making a fool out of you
A
Through all the times you wept

You thought that you were being used

I tried to learn my lesson
D
Not to read between the lines
A
But through all the mild affection
G
Please know that the fault was mine

And take me back to St. Ives

Bridge:
G
And if we saw each other now
Bm
Would we pick up where we left

Or would you glance the other way?

A simple sign we must forget...
