Intro D G A G AVerse 1:
D D/F# Night before she's leaving, G D there's suddenly a change Bm F#m She slowly sits beside me and Em7 A she softly calls my name D D/F# And gives me an address G Em and she says, "Come visit soon" G F#m And yesterday she wouldn't notice Em7 A that I was in the roomVerse 2:
D D/F# I guess she stayed awake 'cause it's so G D hard for her to say G F#m We both had built our hopes up, Em7 A but the love just slipped away D D/F# She's worried I might try to burden G D her with all the blame G D For breaking up my heart as if she'd G A planned it from the start G D Em7 A7 Just 'cause that's the way some people doA G Em7 A Oh, but I have been on her side of it too D D/F# F#m7 So I said, "Don't feel ashamed, Em7 A don't feel guilty for the pain G F#m7 Sometimes you build your hopes Em7 A up and they fall back down again" D D/F# Bm The time we had was magic Em G and the love was not in vain G A D And falling down's as common as the rainBridge:
D D/F# G And something about me leaves you cold Em But something even you don't know Bm F#m And don't think that it's wrong to go, Em7 A 'cause of what we had before D D/F# Just leave me with those magic times, G I'd rather keep you on my mind Bm F#m7 Then see you try to fake the feelings, Em7 A trying not to be unkindOutro G The only thing for certain is Em F#m G that nothing stays the same G Em D And falling down's as common as the rain D Em A D G D as the rainD F#m7 Oh now don't feel ashamed, Em7 don't feel guilty for the pain G F#m7 Sometimes you build your hopes Em7 A up and they fall back down again" D D/F# Bm The time we had was magic Em G and the love was not in vain G A D And falling down's as common as the rain
