[N] Oh, [Bbm] I also wanted to do kind of like a [C] hi, I'm [Eb] Brie.
I'm Emma.
[Dm] And I'm Erin.
[Ab] And we're Sommarelli.
[D] But everybody keeps asking, [Ab] well not everybody, but we've gotten a few comments asking [Db] what the relation [Ab] is, what our names are, and how old we are.
So I'm almost 25.
[D] I'm 15.
And I'm almost 11.
And yes, we're [Am] sisters.
[Ab] We have four [G] brothers also that are not included in these videos.
So, here we [Eb] go.
[B]
This
[Eb]
[Abm]
[E]
is [B] the story of a man who took for granted [Eb] everything he had.
And how he let it all [Abm] just slip away, never to
[E] return again.
Now 20 years have [B] come and gone.
But still he wonders what [Abm] he did so wrong.
And how that he [Dbm] can win back [E] her heart.
And finally step outside [Gb] of the dark.
He buys fresh roses every [B] day.
Her favorite flower so she [Abm] used to say.
And now the memory's all [E] that he has left.
And I'm afraid he'll drink [Gb] himself to death.
This is the story of a [B] man who took for granted [Eb] everything he had.
And how he let it all [Abm] just slip away, never to [E]
return again.
[B]
[Eb]
[Abm]
[E]
It's clear she's moved [B] on long ago.
But he still clings on to [Abm] a distant hope.
That she'll come back and make [E] a happy home.
But now it's him [B] and the bottle [Gb] alone.
[B] Sometimes you'll [Gb] see him in the [B] war.
A wounded man with a [Abm]
desperate heart.
He keeps the hedges trimmed [E] nice and neat.
To keep them the way that they [Gb] used to be.
This is [Ebm] the story of [B] a man who took for granted [Eb] everything he had.
And how he let it all [Abm] just slip away, never to [E] return again.
[B]
[Eb]
[Abm]
[E]
A single [B] dress hangs on its soul.
The scent of perfume only adds [Abm] to hope.
A wasted life waiting [E] on a tree.
Hoping for things the way [Gb] they used to be.
This is the story of [B] a man who took for granted [Eb] everything he had.
And how he let it all [Abm] just slip away, never to [E]
return again.
