[B]
[E] You say there's no truth in my words
[A] To leave before [E]
I [B] cause a stir
[C#m] I know that your [B]
friends would [A] prefer
If I left things the way that they [B] were
But [E] I can't [B] help feeling [E] so strong
I [A] know [E] that you're feeling [B] it strong
[C#m] But I ask you [B] for once in [A] a long
The songs I can't sing when [B] I'm gone
[E] I [B] can't be right when I'm [E] wrong
I [A] [E] can't be there when [B] I'm gone
[C#m] You can't [B] be right all the [A] time
Watching us both [B] fall behind
[E] Darling, the night's drawing [E] in
[A] I watch the rain [E] blow in the [B] wind
[B] I'm [C#m] sinking [B] in thoughts trying [A] to swim
This losing game's hard [B] to win
I [E] wish I [B] was a grumbling [E] man
[A] I'd still [E] seize a walk [B] on the sands
[C#m] But after [B] I'd travelled [A] the lines
I'd return to the place where [B] you stand
[E] But I can't be right when I'm wrong
[A] I can't [E] be there [B] when I'm gone
[C#m] You [B] can't be right [A] all the time
Watching us both [B] fall behind

[E] No language to describe your ways
[A] A lifetime [E] is not enough [B] days
[C#m] There's not [E] enough lines on [A] this page
To tell you [E] I want you [B] to stay
[E] First thought in [B] my mind when I [E] rise
And [A] last as [E] I'm closing [B] my eyes
[E] I'll arise, [B] I'll deep sea [A] you drown
My love, you're the talk [B] of the town
[E] But I [B] can't be right when I'm [E] wrong
[A] I [E] can't be there when [B] I'm gone
[C#m] You can't [B] be right all the [A] time
Watching us both fall behind
