 D5  
Sorry I'm so late  
 G5  
I've been out walking  
          D5  
Trying to find A way to tell you  
        A5  
What I think you already know  
     D5  
I'd never want to hurt you   
       G5  
Cause darling I still love you  
     D5  
But things aren't like they used to be  
      A5         D5  
It's time for letting go  
  

   D5  
I wasn't out there looking  
       G5  
But a month ago last sunday  
   D5  
I met someone just like you  
    A5  
In line at the grocery store  
                D5  
And We've been spending time together  
       G5  
Yeah, she knows all about you  
     D5  
The truth is she can give me   
     A5          D5     
What you can't anymore  
   
(chorus)  
 G5  
Looking back when we first started  
 D5  
I never thought I'd see this day  
 G5  
If only I could write the pages  
 A5               G5  /  A5  
Our story wouldn't end this way  
  
  
D5  
I feel so much better   
        G5  
Knowing we could have this moment  
       D5  
But it looks like it may rain soon  
          A5  
And it's gettin' kind of late  
      D5  
I'll always bring your roses   
      G5  
Each time I come to visit  
      D5  
The caretaker's waving  
     A5             D5  
He wants to close the gates  
  
(chorus)  
 G5  
Oh, lookin' back when we first started  
 D5  
I never thought I'd see this day  
 G5  
If only I could write the pages  
 A5  
Our story wouldn't end this way  
  

G5  /  D5  

 G5  
If only I could write the pages  
 A5                            D5  /  G5  /  D5  
Our story wouldn't end this way
