Verse 1
C 
 (C major) I traced your arms
As you laid spread out
on the Sunday paper
Looked like the crime scene
F 
of an angel ghost  (F major) 
C 
I heard the gate clatter to on the elevat (C major) or
I wrapped myself up in it,
G 
like a cold beef roast  (G major) 
C 
Fell  (C major) asleep, was cooked medium
Placed on a dinner room
table in Brooklyn
Before an older couple surrounded
by family and friends
F 
So  (F major) wonderful and kind
It flies back to you giving dollars
To homeless men down in
C 
the  (C major) Bowery
Not before they convinced you
G 
It was for sandwiches and not for  (G major) wine
I could never convince you baby
C 
That this was our  (C major) time

Verse 2

This was our time

Verse 3
C 
Now you're  (C major) feeding my fabulous
Chinese takeout
On the dampened bedsheets
F 
Our last supper so you might say  (F major) 
I woke up in a cold sweat
and realized
C 
We'd never cooked one  (C major) meal together
You always said why bother
We have cuisines of the world
G 
Laid at our  (G major) feet everyday

Verse 4
C 
And I  (C major) thought of our first date
back in Nashville
We shared the poo poo platter
You enjoyed it with such gusto
F 
I  (F major) took it for a sign
We would have many happy meals together
C 
In a warm dining  (C major) room somewhere
Maybe even Brooklyn
That was way back then
And I was just another guy
G 
 (G major) With food on his mind
C 
But this baby this was our  (C major) time

Verse 5
F 
This was our  (F major) time
G 
C 
This was our  (G major) time  (C major) 
F 
This was our  (F major) time
G 
C 
What did you have  (G major) in mind  (C major) 
F 
This was our  (F major) time
