A augmentedA song, I’m expected now to play along with a song
  B minorBm      C majorC             B minorBm
You crook, just a boy sitting there with his book
   C majorC           G+G
And a smile that the camera took
    E minorEm      C majorC         G+G
Leaving you just the same as you always look

Verse:
         E minorEm          C majorC       G+G
As for me, I’m as changed as a girl can be, can’t you see
            E minorEm           C majorC     G+G
That I’ve flown to the edges of the earth and home, I’ve flown
     B minorBm      C majorC             B minorBm
From your chair, I can tell you can tell it from there
    C majorC          G+G

    E minorEm        C majorC    G+G
But I’m back, back to the starting square

Verse:
           E minorEm             C majorC       G+G
In my nights, I have bargained with the eastern lights, in my nights
         E minorEm            C majorC     G+G
We’ve met and the trouble was no trouble at all to forget
       B minorBm        C majorC        B minorBm
Dreaming, we spoke, chalked it up to a terrible joke
      C majorC            G+G
And then we each took a hold of the rope
     E minorEm      C majorC         G+G
With one match and the problem went up in smoke

Verse:
             E minorEm        C majorC        G+G
It’s just there, it’s not right or wrong or fair, it’s just there
           E minorEm          C majorC      G+G
A augmentedA big heart, a rotten ending and a fumbling start, a big heart
       B minorBm       C majorC             B minorBm
And isn’t it so that when I see you at the end of this show
      C majorC            G+G
That we’ll start with the places we know
     E minorEm      C majorC          G+G
And walk long down the road that we always go
