A Casual Affair
CAPO 2
[Intro]
E F#m G#m B
[Verse 1]
E F#m
Its funny how time seems to soften the blow
G#m B
And only with time do I see at all
E F#m
That the promises made were the start of the fall
A#m B
The biggest mistake was to promise at all
A
Shout the odds
G#m A
And what does it matter now?
G#m F#m
That dreams are a passing cloud
G#m
Their place is taken
B
With many more fools like us
[Verse 2]
E F#m
The time that we had we now have to repay
G#m B
The sweet things we ate now leave a bitter taste
E F#m
Can you ever remember a night or a day
G#m B
You ever regretted eating that way
A
Say I'm wrong
G#m A
But inside you know I'm right
G#m F#m
And useless to try and fight
G#m
They say it was worth it
B
But you know it never was
[Bridge]
F# G#
The hurt inside
F# G#
And all the wasted tears we cried
B E
Oh, the fun we had
B E
All the good things just turned bad
A F#
Oh, the memories
A F# B
Rearrange themselves to misery for me
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
E F#m
A casual affair in a casual way
G#m B
We don't go far living from day to day
E F#m
It just is a laugh that we left unnamed
G#m B
You came here with pride but they told you was changed
A
Shout the odds
G#m A
And what does it matter now?
G#m F#m
That dreams are a passing cloud
G#m
Their place is taken
B
With many more fools like us
