Do you think about the days when we were in love
         F#                               B

Now I'll press a kiss but I know it doesn't move you

Dead silence where your promise used to be

Well, I still hang around, put money in the jukebox

Play those songs, let him ring the tears for me
B
Friends all shake their heads and tell me to go on home
     F#                                  B B7
