Spoken:
A friend of mine told me
That you were down here last night
I almost called him a liar but I see he was right
Yeah he was right
G
I'm over my anger but that's about all
C G
It's hard to recover from that kind of fall
A fool never knows when to give up
A7 D7
For years I remember those long nights of love
G C
But I don't go back anymore
D7 C G
My heart's locked it's windows and bolted it's door
G7 C
It's like trying to hold back the sea from the shore
G D7 G
No I don't go back anymore
You're still just as pretty as you were back then
C G
If I didn't know you I'd fall again
So don't smile and tell me that you still care
A7 D7
Don't stir up my feelings it just isn't fair
repeat #3
G D7 G
No I don't go back anymore
Spoken:
A friend of mine told me you might be down here tonight
