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

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


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


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


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


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



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



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