  G+G               C majorC
	Passed through main street yesterday
  G+G               C majorC
	And, oh, this town just ain't the same
  G+G               C majorC
	Looked in the window and it was gone
  G+G               C majorC
	All those tables I'd written on

    D MajorD                     C majorC
	We're vanished as if I had never been there
    D MajorD                                C majorC
	Like the poets and prophets who can't find the words so they stare
    D MajorD                        C majorC
	And all that made sense has somehow turned askew
      D MajorD    D MajorD    D MajorD    C majorC       G+G        C majorC
	I missed my chance with you


  G+G                                C majorC
	There were seconds then minutes then years that I could not breathe
  G+G                                C majorC
	In the Pere Lachaise with the hammer the chisel and the stone
  G+G                      C majorC
	Now I've bartered and begged for what I believed
  G+G                     C majorC
	And I saw that the name engraved was my own

    D MajorD                        C majorC
	Now there's nothing so peaceful as when I met you
	D MajorD                          C majorC
	And there's nothing so lonely as when it was through
    D MajorD                        C majorC
	And the words, "I'm not here anymore", echo into
       D MajorD    D MajorD    D MajorD    C majorC       G+G        C majorC
	"I missed my chance with you"


  G+G                 C majorC
	Had love play so many tricks on me
  G+G                        C majorC
	I've always felt cheated that you'd make me leave
  G+G                     C majorC
	Like taking my sight after letting me see
  G+G                       C majorC
	But I found out love had something up it's sleeve


    D MajorD                           C majorC
	Leave me scattered like leaves by winds that never blew
    D MajorD             C majorC
	When I captured the starts
    D MajorD                 C majorC
	In the palm of my hand it was true
       D MajorD     D MajorD    D MajorD     C majorC      G+G       C majorC
	I'd just give them back to you


  G+G                  C majorC
	I was seventeen, but just for one year
  G+G                  C majorC
	I always knew one day, I'd end up here
  G+G                             C majorC
	And the sands have now fallen to the evening of my afternoon
  G+G                             C majorC
	I'm was always so ready to stay and always leaving too soon


    D MajorD                        C majorC
	And I don't want to think about it now, but I do
    D MajorD            C majorC
	And my spirit is restless
    D MajorD           C majorC
	'Cause I know it's true
      D MajorD    D MajorD     D MajorD  C majorC
