We stood there in the courthouse room so close yet far apart,
E7 A
You had brought your lawyer and I'd brought a broken heart,
D
The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do,
E7
And changed your name from Brown to Jones,
A A7
And mine from Brown to Blue.
D
I couldn't keep my tears from falling,
A A7
On the courtroom floor,
D
By law, they took away my rights,
A E7
To love you any- more,
A
My world just seemed to stop,
D
While I stood there so close to you,
E7
They changed your name from Brown to Jones,
A
And mine from Brown to Blue.
A D
The judge forgot to tell me how I'd live my life alone,
E7 A
What I would do without you after loving you so long,
D
He didn't seem to care that I am still in love with you,
E7
He changed your name from Brown to Jones,
A A7
And mine from Brown to Blue.
D
I couldn't keep my tears from falling,
