               D               A
For so long we worked so hard
                        G
We didn't have a dime

A mansion filled with social life

All I can say, why did you leave today

Verse:
                          D                A
As I walked through these grand old halls
                        G
I feel so cold inside
                   D                A
I stare upon these grand old walls
                           G
And all the costly prizes

Verse:
              Em
I realize I’d gladly trade
C                   Am       G
Them, these worldly things
                  Em
To lie beside you one more time
    C              D         C
And share only our dreams___

I watched my dream  slip away___

All I can say, why did you leave today
