Intro 1
(D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) We ear- marked our August va
(A major) cation as a fine (G major) place to fall apart (D major)
And we heard that a trial sepera (A major) tion
was a quaint (G major) idea for a new start (D major)
Then the city approached like a ban (A major) dit my
(G major) hands shook as they gripped the wheel (D major)
As if I'd always known theres (A major) no place like home
to show (G major) you the way that you (D major) feel

Interlude 1
(D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 2
A rainy (D major) afternoon in your bed (A major) room
(G major) clothes in two piles on the floor (D major)
One is labelled old cou (A major) ture the (G major) other's
marked arms for the poor (D major)
I'm just loitering trying to look helpful (A major)
you offer (G major) two corners of the sheet (D major)
We fold over and over and (A major) over again and
(G major) then in the middle we'll meet
Interlude 2
(D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 3
Now (D major) some days I feel like an (A major) en gagement
ring rest (G major) ing on the ocean floor (D major)
Yet others just like that same (A major) Glen Campbell
record found (G major) in every second hand store (D major)
Now right now I'm watching a (A major) drummer
haul (G major) his drums into a bar (D major)
And deep down I'm secretly (A major) happy
that (G major) I play the harmon (D major) ica
Verse 4
No, (B minor) I'm not saying I'm (G major) lazy I just
(B minor) take more time to digress (A major)
And I've (D major) more than three ways I (A major) empty my days
now that (G major) you're not around to im (D major) press
(I've more than three ways I (A major) empty my days
now that (G major) you're not around to (D major) impress)
Verse 5
Those (G major) forming morning (D major) birds (A major)
They (G major) dont do things by thirds
(A major)
Verse 6
And your (D major) voice sounds just like it's
(A major) reading from a (G major) birthday telegram (D major)
It says "You're looking a little older (A major) " and
I say (G major) "That's funny because I am" (D major)
Last year escaped by the (A major) window and this
(G major) year's going for a song (D major)
And the church bells they're (A major)
(G major) plagarising 'merily we roll (D major) along'
Verse 7
No, (B minor) we weren't together forever (G major) but
then (B minor) what the hell does that (A major) mean?
One (D major) persons lifetime,
the history (A major) of mankind or the years (G major) since I turned seven (D major) teen?
(One persons lifetime,
the history (A major) of mankind or the years (G major) since you turned (D major) seventeen)
Yeah, I was light- headed,
unfettered and I (A major) falsely claimed to (G major) know the dimensions of love (D major)
I was prone to wild (A major) exageration saying
thing (G major) s I had no concept (D major) of
Verse 8
Maybe love (D major) takes the form of a (A major) mountain
with no (G major) choice but forever to linger (D major)
Maybe love lives in a soap (A major) bubble
at the mer (G major) cy of a child's fin (D major) ger
But each (B minor) with a little rainbow (G major)
(B minor) designed to hypnotise (A major) us
And (D major) I wouldn't trade one (A major) heartbroken minute for a years (G major) worth of
dull happi (D major) ness
Interlude 3
(G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (A major)
(D major) (A major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (G major) (D major) (A major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 9
So I (D major) built myself another (A major) lifetime oh how
(G major) quick did the calender grow (D major)
And right now im seven years (A major) wiser than I
(G major) was twenty five years ago (D major)
I stopped to (B minor) play with this cat on the foot (G major) path
and he's clean (B minor) ing his head with his (A major) paw
And I (D major) know that you're gone so (A major) I'm moving on still
I know (G major) that you're worth mourning (D major) for (G major)
Now I'm (D major) feeling just fine but I'm (A major) taking my time
'cause I (G major) know that you're worth mourning for
