A                G           D          E
Surely there's a way I could please you
A           G              D        E
Only in your past, lie the tears
A                  G          D            F
Surely there's a day you can say went your way
E                       E                    A
Some illusion you can keep through the years.

A            G             D       E
Only if I lied could I love you
A              G              D        E
Nothing of our lives could we share
A             G          D       F
Only could we try to get by on a sigh
E             E                     A
Just because, just this once, I was there.
