Intro: A G/D A Em
A G
We set by ourselves, still looking for company
A G
There could have been peace, but that eluded me
F#m D
All I could think of, was what was on your mind
F#m
You tried to be kind,
Bm F#m
but I blocked your feelings.
Em F#m Bm F#m
Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room
Em E
and cry.
A F#m B
You tried
G A F#m B
to make me one,
G A F#m B
but I always hide
G A
when there's
G A G
a glimpse of sun.
A G
Running along in sunlight meadows
A G
your eyes were never more than half-closed:
F#m D
through fluttering lashes, I watched you watching me.
F#m
I tried to be true
Bm F#m Em F#m
to the way that you thought I ought to be
Bm F#m
but, in spite of all my efforts,
Em E
I failed.
A F#m B G A F#m B
I tried to make you see
G A F#m B
but your eyes were blind
G A G A G
to all but the bad in me.
(Bridge): D A G (2 X)
D A G
What do you think I mean
D A G
when I say that I need you?
D A G
How am I supposed to seem
D A G
when we hit another problem and the answers
are all torn from my book?
D A G
D A G
A G
Our lives are on paths we just can't control;
A G
we can grow closer as we get old....
F#m D
Can you imagine us as we adjust?
F#m
Can you imagine us
Bm F#m
getting near eighty;
Em F#m Bm F#m
we live more sedately, still hoping our dreams will
Em E
come true?
A F#m B G A F#m B G
We'll try to be secure....
A F#m B G
But I'm of uncertain mind
A G A
and how can I be sure?
G A
how can I be sure?
G
how can I be sure?
