[Intro]
F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G# F#maj7 F#maj7 C#/F C#/F
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7 (A7 A7)

F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G# F#maj7 F#maj7 C#/F C#/F
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7 (A7 A7)


[Verse 1]
F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G# F#maj7 F#maj7 C#/F C#/F
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7 (A7 A7)
The sentimental fool don't see
F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G# F#maj7 F#maj7
Tryin' hard to recreate
C#/F C#/F
What had yet to be created

D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7
once in her life
(A7 A7) F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G#
She musters a smile

F#maj7 F#maj7 C#/F C#/F
for his nostalgic tale
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7 (A7 A7) F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G#
Never coming near what he wanted to say
F#maj7 F#maj7 C#/F C#/F
Only to realize
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7
it never really was

[Pre-Chorus]
A#m7 A#m7 F#/G# F#/G#
She had a place in his life
A#m7 A#m7 F#/G# F#/G#
He never made her think twice
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 C#maj7 C#maj7
As he rises to her apology
(B7 B7 A#m7 A#m7) D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7
Anybody else would surely know
A#m6 A#m6
He's watching her go

[Chorus]
F#m7 F#m7 A/B A/B
But what a fool believes, he sees
E E C#m7 C#m7 (A7 A7)
No wise man has the power to reason away
F#m7 F#m7 A/B A/B
What seems to be
E E
Is always better than nothing
C#m7 C#m7
Than nothing at all

[Verse 2]
(A7 A7) F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G# F#maj7 F#maj7 C#/F C#/F
Keeps sending him somewhere back in her long ago
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7 (A7 A7) F#maj7/G# F#maj7/G#
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
F#maj7 F#maj7 C#/F C#/F
Someday, somewhere
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7
She will return

[Pre-Chorus]
A#m7 A#m7 F#/G# F#/G#
She had a place in his life
A#m7 A#m7 F#/G# F#/G#
He never made her think twice
D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 C#maj7 C#maj7
As he rises to her apology
(B7 B7 A#m7 A#m7) D#m7 D#m7 G#7 G#7 A#m7 A#m7
Anybody else would surely know
A#m6 A#m6
He's watching her go

[Chorus]
F#m7 F#m7 A/B A/B
But what a fool believes, he sees
E E C#m7 C#m7 (A7 A7)
No wise man has the power to reason away
F#m7 F#m7 A/B A/B
What seems to be
E E
Is always better than nothing
C#m7 C#m7 (A7 A7)
Than nothing at all

It's perfect! Would also be nice to add a strumming pattern after the chords, for the newbies starting to play the uke :)
