Verse 1
Em 
Tom and
D 
G 
C 
Sarah were born before the war,
Em 
Brought up in a small town,
D 
side by side.
Em 
D 
Growing up together,
G 
just two families down the
C 
Em 
street
D 
Underneath the eastern
G 
seaboard sky
Em 
D 
Romance in the schoolyard on a
G 
C 
Thursday afternoon
Em 
Sarah took a shine to Bobby
D 
Em 
and  Joe
D 
Tommy turned around to
G 
see them stealing a kiss
C 
Em 
D 
But the pain gripped him then,
G 
never let him go
D 
It was just a kiss, just a kiss
G 
Em 
C 
A kiss, just a   kiss,
Em 
Bm 
but that kiss was
D 
Breaking his heart
G 
D 
G 
A  kiss, just a kiss
C 
A kiss, just a kiss,
Em 
Bm 
but that kiss was
D 
G 
Tearing him apart
Em 
D 
Now teenage years come round so fast
G 
C 
but our lovers still remain
Em 
D 
True to one another in their way
Em 
D 
The road of love is never smooth
G 
Em 
C 
Em 
and heartaches still arise
When the green -eyed mon
D 
G 
ster shows his face
Em 
D 
A lover's tiff one time
G 
Em 
C 
left little Sarah out in the cold
Em 
D 
She saw a boy with Susie in the park
Em 
D 
Her blue eyes filled with tears
G 
C 
and she couldn't make a sound
Em 
D 
A sunny day was cast into the dark
G 
D 
But it was just a kiss, just a kiss
G 
Em 
C 
A kiss, just a   kiss
Em 
Bm 
D 
But that kiss was breaking her heart
G 
D 
A kiss just a kiss,
G 
Em 
C 
a kiss just a kiss,
Em 
Bm 
D 
G 
but that kiss was tearin' her apart
Em 
D 
The time rolled on,
G 
C 
wedding bells sounded in the town
Em 
As Tom and Sarah
D 
scampered down the aisle
Em 
They bought a little house
D 
in the neighborhood,
G 
C 
like the parents who did before
Em 
D 
G 
And everything was rosy for a while
Em 
D 
A little baby was born,
G 
Em 
C 
he soon grew up to be  a man
Em 
He was six foot two,
D 
his mama's special boy
Em 
D 
The day Jimmy left,
G 
he kissed his mama's cheek
C 
Em 
And the tears she shed,
D 
G 
you know, were tears of joy
D 
G 
C 
A kiss just a kiss, a kiss just a kiss
Em 
Bm 
D 
But that kiss was breaking her heart
G 
D 
G 
C 
A kiss just a kiss, a kiss just a kiss
Em 
But that kiss was tearin'
Bm 
D 
G 
her apart
Em 
D 
Now the house is slow and quiet
G 
C 
The colors start to fade
Em 
Even Sarah's hair
D 
had turned to gray
Em 
D 
Then one fateful afternoon
G 
Em 
C 
She didn't wake from her sleep
Em 
And with one last sigh
D 
G 
She quietly slid away
Em 
D 
The day that she was buried
G 
Em 
C 
Was overcast and   black
Em 
And the clouds hung like tears
D 
Em 
in the sky
D 
G 
Tommy knelt down to his wife's
Em 
C 
last resting place
Em 
D 
G 
And tenderly he kissed his lovely wife
D 
G 
D 
A  kiss just to kiss
G 
C 
A  kiss just to kiss
Em 
Bm 
D 
But that kiss was a break in his heart
G 
D 
G 
C 
A kiss just a kiss, a kiss just a kiss
Em 
But that kiss was tear
Bm

ing him apart

A kiss just a
