[C#]
[F#m]
[A] [D]
This is the story [A] of a man Who took for granted [C#] everything he had
And how he let it [F#m] all just slip away Never to [D] return again
Now twenty years have [A] come and gone Still he wonders [F#m] what he did so wrong
And how that he can [D] win back her heart And finally step [E] outside of the dark
He buys fresh roses [A] every day Her favorite [F#] flowers so [F#m] she used to say
And now that [D] memory's all that he has left I'm afraid he'll [E] drink himself to death
This is the story [A] of a man Who took for granted [C#] everything he had
And how he let it [F#m] all just slip away Never to [D] return again

[C#]
[F#m]
[D] It's clear she's moved on [A] long ago But he still clings on [F#m] to a distant home
She'll come back and make [D] a happy home Now it's him in the [G#m] bottle all along
Sometimes you'll see him [A] in the yard A wounded man [F#m] with a desperate heart
He keeps the hedges [D] trimmed nice and neat To keep them the way that [E] they used to be
This is the story [A] of a man Who took for granted [C#] everything he had
And how he let it all [F#m] just slip away Never to [D] return again

A single dress hangs [A] on its own The scent of [F#m] perfume all he has to hold
A wasted life [D] waiting on a dream Hoping for things the [E] way they used to be
This is the story [A] of a man Who took for granted [C#] everything he had
And how he let it all [F#m] just slip away Never to [D] return again
