C F
Sorry I'm so late but I've been out a-walking
C G7
Trying to find a way to tell you but I think you already know
C F
I'd never want to hurt you cause darling I still love you
C G7 C
But things aren't the way they use to be it's time for letting go
F
I wasn't out there looking but a month ago last Sunday
C G7
I met someone just like you in line at the grocery store
C F
We've been spending time together yes she knows all about you
C G7 C
The truth is she can give me what you can't anymore
F
I know I promised you forever
C
I never thought I'd see this day
F
If only I could write the pages
C G7
Our story wouldn't end this way
C F
I feel so much better knowing we could have this moment
C G7
But it looks like it may rain soon and it's getting kind of late
C F
Hon I'll always bring you roses every time I come to visit
C G7 C
The caretakers waiting he wants to close the gate
F
I know I promised you forever
C
I never thought I'd see this day
F
If only I could write the pages
C G7
Our story wouldn't end this way
C
It wouldn't end this way
