INTRO:  F5 (2x)

VERSE 1
F5
Long ago
   Bb5             C5  C5
In someone else's lifetime
F5               D5
Someone with my name
     G5                C5      
Who looked a lot like me
F5
Came to know
Bb5               C5  C5
A man and made a promise
    F5          D5
He only had to say
     G5           G5       C5
And that's where she would be

C5
Lately
    F5                  F5         Bb5
Although her feelings run just as deep
    D5           D5            G5          F5
The promise she made has grown impossible to keep
     F5    Bb5    C5     F5
And yet I wish  it wasn't so
Bb5              C5    F5     Bb5 , C5
Will he miss me if I go?


VERSE 2
F5
In a way
     Bb5               C5
It's someone else's story
F5              D5       G5            C5
I don't see myself As taking part at all
F5
Yesterday
   Bb5               C5
A girl that I was fond of
F5              D5
Finally could see
    F5     G5     C5
The writing on the wall

C5
Sadly
     F5             F5       Bb5
She realized she'd left him behind
     D5            D5           G5          F5      
And sadder than that she knew he wouldn't even mind
                   Bb5      C5       F5
And though there's nothing left to say
Bb5              C5    F5
Would he listen if I stay?

REFRAIN
     C#5       Bb5             F5                Bb5  F5
It's all very well to say you fool it's now or never
A5          E5       G5          C5        C#5
I could be choosing No choices whatsoever

VERSE 3

F#5    
I could be
    B5             C#5
In someone else's story
   F#5              Eb5
In someone else's life
    Ab5       Ab5   C#5
And he could be in mine
F#5              B5            C#5
I don't see  A reason to be lonely
F#5               Eb5
I should take my chances
Ab5       Ab5      C#5
Further down the line

C#5
And if
     F#5                 F#5       B5
That girl I knew should ask my advice
   Eb5        Eb5
Oh I wouldn't hesitate
    Ab5            F#5
She needn't ask me twice
            B5     C#5      F#5
Go now! I'd tell her that for free
B5               C#5      F#5 , Eb5
Trouble is, the girl is me
     B5            C#5      F#5
The story is, the girl is me
