[G]
Darling, I know we talked about it one too [Bm] many times
How there was something missing in [C] our lives
A little [Em] life, so [G] we tried
It was more than just a twinkle in [Bm] your eye
But some things you just don't get to [C] decide
[Em] At least we tried
The [C] first casualty [D] of life is the [Em] plan
When [C] I look back [D] I'm not even sure [Em] that
We were [D] thinking
[G] Somewhere
She's probably dancing [D] with her blonde hair
Falling like ribbons [C] on her shoulders
Just like we [Em] always [D] saw
[G] Bright eyes, spinning in circles in [D] the sunlight
Darling, we tried but [C] now it's over
We had it all and [Em] then we lost
[D] The girl that [G] never was
If I could say
A million words to take away [D] the pain
What kills me is you trying to [C] take the blame
You're not to [Em] blame
I'll never [G] say I told you so
Sad I thought I was
[D] Try drowning you in happiness
I only make it worse
[C] We never should have picked her name
Cause now she has a face
[Em] And now no matter what we do
No one will take her place [G] Somewhere
She's probably dancing [Bm] with her blonde [D] hair
Falling like ribbons on [C] her shoulders
Just like we [Em] always saw
[D]
[G] Bright eyes, spinning in circles [D] in the sunlight
Darling, we tried but [C] now it's over
We had it all and [Em] then we lost
[D] The girl that [C] never was
I [D] know we'll [Em] never know you
[C] I [D] know we'll [Em] never hold you
[C] I [D] never got [Em] to show you my [Bm] [D] love
[G] Cause somewhere
You're probably dancing with [D] your blonde hair
Falling like ribbons on [C] your shoulders
Just like we [Em] always saw
[G]
Bright eyes, spinning in circles in [D] the sunlight
