C                       C
As I'm falling for him more and more,
Am                       Am
The more it'll hurt the day he leaves
F                                   F
And when I hear his voice it's like it's straight out of a dream
G                              G
I would do things for him that completely messes my routine
Am                              Am
so even just for a minute it'd feel like he's right next to me

C                                  C
I would take time out of busy days so I could hear his laugh
Am                                 Am
listen to his favorite songs while staring at his photograph
F                                   F
I needed him, I wanted him, right person but wrong time
G                              G
and on September 9, the telephone cord cut the line

C                                        C                      Am
but you said it yourself, flowers from 1970 couldn't last that long and you were my flower
F                           F
and for one last time I said "goodbye old man"
G                                  G
you said "you take care of those flowers, wrong number."

Chorus:
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
And He Makes Me Feel So Special, I Love It Whenever He
F
Compliments Me, Tries To Hide The Fact That He’s Obsessed With Me
G
Went Through Trouble, Sending Me Flowers From 1970

Interlude:
C Am F G

Chorus:
C
When I’m Talking To Him That’s The Happiest I’ll Ever Be
Am
and he made me feel so special but it broke me when he
F
asked for closure, proof that in 1970, a man
G
who didn't even exist yet had loved me.

C                       C
you said you just can't have your heart in 2020 with me
Am                       Am
when your heart belongs there in 1970
F                                   F
maybe in another life we'd do the things we couldn't do
G                              G
so I'd hold you in my arms and tell you how much I love you.

C
One Day A Man From 1970 Gave Me A Call.
Am                             Em
Now My Only Memories Of Him Are Handprints On The Wall.
F
And That Faded Green Paint 3 Familiar Words Were Written Under
         G
Once Upon A Time, Same Room, Same House, 50 Years Apart.

We Have Loved Each Other
