The Best Thing chords by Carly Simon

D
I was his foreigner
     G
And he was mine
D
We ate on terraces
      G
And drank the cheapest wine
C
And he believed in me
      G7
Down by the serpentine
G

How was I to know
             C
It was the best thing
         G
To come along for a long time


D
I turned the page
                 G
And saw three children with smiles
D
I looked to see
               G
What I could make of the youngest child
G
And as she blew the candles out
           G7
She turned five
G
How was I to know
            C
It was the best thing
  G
To come along for a long time

Em
What do the people at the end of the world do
       Eb9
About time? What about time?

Ab
Oh oh oh oh....

Em
What do the people at the end of the world do
       Eb9
About time? What about time?
D
Their secret sleeps with me


G
How was I to know
            C
It was the best thing
  G
To come along for a long time
G
How was I to know
            C
It was the best thing
  G
To come along for a long time
