[Verses]
C G F C
It wasn't very long for us
G F C
When you're young it isn't hard to trust
Am F G
I told her I was seventeen
F C F
She said that's how she still remembers me
C G F C
I haven't many words to say
G F C
I thought about you every day
Am F G
And she seems disappointed
F C F
When I say that I'm not happy yet
C F G
And I ask her if she liked the show
F C
She says she heard me on the radio
G F G
And only works a few blocks down the street
F C
She leaves her coat on but she takes a seat
[Chorus 1]
C (G) F
Was it really that worth writing about?
G Am
They say your record deal is over now
C (G) F
And did you love me like the way you wrote?
G F G C F
Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid so
[Verse]
C G F C
She tells me she is happy now
G F C
She really loves him and they have a house
Am F G
I say I'm glad for her and should have known
F C F
I have one too now but I live alone
[Chorus 2]
C (G) F
Is it really you behind that beard?
G Am
I say I think so and we count the years
C (G) F
We tell stories and we sort of laugh
G F C
And then she jokes she wants my autograph
C (G) F
And was it really how you sing it dear?
G Am
Oh I remember worse than blood and tears
C (G) F
And did you love me like the way you wrote?
G F G C
Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid so
C G F C
She smiles and says she has to go
G F C
I'm left in silence all alone
Am F G
'Til they come and say I've gotta leave
F C
They say there's people that I have to meet
