[D] _ _ [G]
Isn't [C] that the way [G] these things go?
[C] Well let's [D] forget all [G] that and give me the [Am] number if you can [D] find it
So [Em] I can [Bm] call just to [D] tell him I'm [Am] fine and to show
[D] I've [C] overcome the blow, I've learned to [G] take it well
My only [A] wish, my word, to just [C] convince myself that it [D] just wasn't real
[C] But that's not [G] the way it feels
