Verse 1:
     						C
We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
Em                    D                         C
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
Em                     D                        C
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
Em                          D
She couldn't scream while I held I close
    C
I swore I'd never let her go
