He [Ab] came from [Gb] somewhere [Fm] back in her long [Db] ago
_ [Ebm] _ [Gb] The [Bbm] sadder, better fool, [A] though [Cm] she [Ab] tried hard to recreate
[Db] What had yet to be created
_ [Gb] _ [Bbm] Once in her [Ab] life, [A] she musters [Ab] a [Gb] smile
[Fm] For his nostalgic [Db] tear
_ [Ebm] _ _ [Bbm] Never coming near [A] what he [Cm] wanted to [Ab] say
[Bbm] Only [Fm] to _ [Db]
realize
[Ebm] _ It [Bbm] never really was
_ She _ _ had a place in [Ab] his _ _ [Db] life
[Ab] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] As he rises [Db] to her [B] apology
[Bb] [Ebm] Anybody else [Gb] would [A] surely [Bbm] know _
He's _ watching [G] her [Bbm] go _
The [Gb] butterfool [A] _ believes _
_ _ He [E] sees
[A] _ The [Dbm] wise man _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
should reason the way
_ _ [A] _
[E] What _ [Gbm] [A] seems _ _ to [E] _ _ be
_ Is always the _ _ _ _ _ way
And nothing _ _ _ _ _ [A]
keeps sending [Ab] him somewhere [Db] back in her long ago
_ _ [Fm] But he [Bbm] can still believe there's [A] a place [Gb] in her [Db] life Someday, somewhere
_ _ She will [Bbm] return _
_ She _ _ had a place [Ebm] in his _ life
_ _ [Ab] _
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _
As he rises [Db] to her [Bm] apology
[Bb]
[Ebm] Anybody else [Gb] would [Bbm] surely know _ _
_ He's watching [G] her _ [Bbm] go
The butterfool [Gbm] _ believes _
_ [A] _ He [E] [A] sees _
[Dbm] To _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ reason the way _ _
What [E] _ [Gbm] seems to be
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] Is [E] _
always the way
And nothing _ _ _ _ _ keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago _ _ _
But he [Gbm] can still believe there's _ _ [E] a place _ [Gbm] in her life Someday, somewhere _
[E] _ To _ _ _ reason the way
What _ _ _
_ [Gbm] seems _ _ to [E] _
