Guitar In The Corner

	  		A 
There's a guitar in the corner 
     E7 
That used to have a song 

I would hold it while it played me 
                 A 
And I would sing along 


It was a happy song about a girl 
       A7              D 
Loving me like I loved her 
                          A 
But the strings no longer ring 
    E7                          A 
And things are not the way they were 

E7 
Now when I need a song 
             D 
My mind goes back where I belong 
         B7 
When I'm not there and the future is not clear 
                                         E7 
And the past is just a smoke ring in the air 

         A 
And that guitar in the corner  
     E7 
Just waits there by the wall 

Standing guard and thinking  
                         A 
A new song might come to call 


And free us from this minor key  
     A7                  D 
That we both been living in 
                                A 
And we'll pick up where we left off  
    E7              A 
And play some songs again 

A 
There's a guitar in the corner 
     E7 
That used to have a song 

I would hold it while it played me 
                 A 
And I would sing along
