[Intro]
E B A E
[Verse 1]
E
Your ship sailed in right as my flag was raised,
A
It was the color of surrender if I leave things will be better.
E
To disengage in such a strange way
A E
Christmas day never felt this grey before
B
Before now.
E
So child you are finally free
A E
I'm sorry it took so long for me to see that I'm not the man
B
I thought I could be.
[Verse 2]
E
Well I know that I'm weak and afraid of the truth,
A
And all along it was me but I was blaming you.
E
So all I can do is wish you the best.
A E
Happiness, love, and nothin less cause it ain't right
B
That you should have to live like this.
E
So fuck me can be the phrase of the day.
A
Take my picture off your wall and throw it away
E
There ain't nothin left that I can say
B E
But I didn't want things to end this way.
[Chorus]
B A E
I'll miss your pretty face in the morning
B A E
I'll miss your loving arms as I lay you to sleep.
B A E
I miss summer time in St Augustine.
B A E
I guess I just miss the way things used to be.
B A E
I guess I just miss the way things used to be.
[Verse 3]
E
See me and you we've seen a lot of things
A E
from land's end to blood stains on Holland street;
B E
We fell in love floating down the street.
E
Well I remember in Miami you were sleeping in your seat,
A
We drove all night just to see the Keys;
E B
You looked so pretty the sunrise could not compete.
E A
Back when the future wasn't hard to see you were my baby doll and my bride to be,
E B
But now these are all just memories.
E
Well I guess that I just.
[Chorus]
B A E
I'll miss your pretty face in the morning
B A E
I'll miss your loving arms as I lay you to sleep.
B A E
I miss summer time in St Augustine.
B A E
I guess I just miss the way things used to be.
B A E
I guess I just miss the way things used to be.
B A E
But I deserve it I have earned no sympathy.
B A E
My selfish ways lost a woman who made a friend of me.
B A E
I guess I just miss the way things used to be.
B A E
I guess I just miss the way things used to be.
