She looked me in the eye and said, "It's over." 
|F       -        G            |C 
I can't take this heartache anymore." 
    |C         -         G               |F 
She said, "Don't tell me lies and try to please me. 
     |F                           |G 
I've heard it all so many times before." 
 
      |C      -       G                    |F 
And I took her by the arm and said, "Don't leave me! 
        |F      -       G                |C 
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do. 
     |C       -         G                 |F 
Just give me time, I'll be the man you've needed." 
             |F      -         G                 |C 
She said, "I wish that I could take that for the truth." 
 
                  |F            |C                |C 
And I said, "Someday, I'll get my life straight." 
                    |G      |G               |C         C
And she said, "It's too late; what's done is done." 
                 |F       |F 
And I told her, "Someday!" 
             |Am7       |Am7 
She said, "I can't wait; 
                |G     |F -  G     |C        C
Cause sometimes someday just never comes." 
 
           |G/B (or Bm)                     |F 
She said, "All I've ever wanted was to love you, 
    |F      -        G               |C 
And somewhere deep inside me I still do. 
    |G/B (Bm)                      |F 
But now I think it's time I stop believing, 
          |F                          |G 
Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you. 
 
And I said, "Someday, I'll get my life straight." 
And she said, "It's too late; what's done is done." 
And I told her, "Someday!" 
She said, "I can't wait; 
Cause sometimes someday just never comes. 
              |G     |F -  G     |C   -   G   |C {stop} 
Oh, sometimes someday just never comes."
