A A                                       Bm Bm
Remember when our so-called friend would not call out to you
F#m F#m D D Dsus2 Dsus2
while tumbling loosely out a hole punched through your home?
A A Bm Bm
It's pretty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally knew,
F#m F#m D D Dsus2 Dsus2
in time, he'd tell his tale the way he'd like it told.

F#m F#m Bm Bm
Now he isn't on the phone,
Bm Bm D D
and his story might as well be so.

A A Bm Bm
Well, loving is as loving does, and I'd say we should know,
F#m F#m D D Dsus2 Dsus2
because we both have loved, have lost, and are alone.
A A Bm Bm
Your face's falling tears, to me they're lovely and they're dear,
F#m F#m D D Dsus2 Dsus2
though you don't love me and it's clear that I will never see you in my arms.

F#m F#m Bm Bm
There's no room in your heart
Bm Bm D D Dsus2 Dsus2
for even this finely-sharpened dart;

A A F#m F#m Bm Bm D D A A
although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn't so.

Bridge: A A Bm Bm F#m F#m D D Dsus2 Dsus2

F#m F#m Bm Bm D D A A
So wake up, make up some new song again around the same tune.

A A Bm Bm
The water cools, the leaves they fall, the sun it bends, the summer ends;
D D A A
our so-called friend doesn't need you.

A A Bm Bm
So proceed out the door and down the street. December's lying near,
F#m F#m D D Dsus2 Dsus2
but in the oven's heat this house is now a home.
A A Bm Bm
Sixty days of trips and stays you took to tell me, dear,
F#m F#m D D Dsus2 Dsus2
that you cannot love me because you secretly still love a stone.

F#m F#m Bm Bm
Although I put my lips to your face,
Bm Bm D D
trying to push his kiss out of its place,

A A F#m F#m Bm Bm D D A A
although my heart started to race, now it has slowed, I'll let it go.


End: A A Bm Bm F#m F#m D D (X2) A A
