VERSE:
A5
  I find it hard, hard to let go
A5
  And you are entitled to know
A5                                  D5
  You have brought nothing else but bliss,
D5                             A5             F#5
  A great deal of frustration,   a voluntary occupation,
B5             D5               A5
  Driving me insane and off the wall


VERSE:
A5
  And we were free to choose each other
A5
  But now it seems like something other
A5                           D5
  Have you placed me where I stand?
D5                             A5           F#5
  Turned caring like a mother,   afraid to lose each other
B5                    D5              D5
  It got us this far,    now problems are:


REFRAIN:
A5           C#5               D5        D5
  I have no bags to pack, no suitcase waiting in the hall
A5             F#5                  F5          E5
  You have no make-up, no stocki - ings in my drawer
A5  F#5                B5   E5                   A5
Oh-oh,  how did we forge - et? How could we forget?
F#5            B5     E5                   A5
  It's easy to lear - earn if you never regret


[INTERLUDE]


VERSE:
A5
  When you live in paranoia 
A5
  And you know she's got you, oh yeah
A5                                   D5
  You can't leave until you know the truth
D5                                   A5           F#5
  So for months you're going nowhere   until you seize the day
    B5               D5                A5
And place yourself behind the steering wheel


VERSE:
A5
   Or you can't end like you don't want to,
A5
   The opposite of what you planned to
A5                                       D5
   You can watch the ships when they're abroad
D5                                    A5              F#5
   Become a joke when people see you,   'cause it's enough to please you
B5                   D5                 D5   A5 
   You got this far,    step put of the car

A5
  We'll never learn in the future,
A5
  This is it, seemingly, I am sure
A5                                D5   D5
  I know we haven't been together now


VERSE:
A5
  It wasn't meant to be this way so
A5
  We'll give it days and days and
A5                          D5
  We'll try to make it easy now
D5               
  Once I believed we could approach this,
A5            F#5                 B5              D5 - A5
  Now I have faith placed in the things you call fa  - ate
       D5              D5  A5
In the things you call fa - ate

       D5              A5
In the things you call fate
