G
Long ago
C D
In someone else's lifetime
G E
Someone with my name
C A
Who looked a lot like me
G
Came to know
C D
A man and made a promise
G E
He only had to say
G D
And that's where she would be
D
Lately
G C
Although the feelings run just as deep
E C G
The promise she made has grown impossible to keep
C G
And yet I wish it wasn't so
C G
Will he miss me if I go
G
In a way
C D
It's someone else's story
G E
I don't see myself
C A
As taking part at all
G
Yesterday
C D
A girl that I was fond of
G E
Finally could see
G D
The writing on the wall
D
Sadly
G C
She realized she'd left him behind
E A G
And sadder than that she knew he wouldn't even mind
C G
And though there's nothing left to say
C D G
Would he listen if I stay
D# B#m G C
It's all very well to say you fool it's now or never
Bm F#
I could be choosing
A
No choices whatsoever
G#
I could be
C# D#
In someone else's story
G#
In someone else's life
C# A#
And he could be in mine
G#
I don't see
C# D#
A reason to be lonely
G# E#m
I could take my chances
G# D#
Further down the line
G# C#
And if that girl I knew should ask my advice
E# A# G#
Oh I wouldn't hesitate she needn't ask me twice Go now
C# G#
I'd tell her that for free
C# D#
Trouble is the girl is me
C# G#
The story is the girl is me
