Verse
D
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
    A               G                  D
You told me all the big things you had planned
   D
It wasn't long till all your dreams came true
   A              G                 D
Success put me in second place with you


Chorus
    G                           D
You have no time to love me any-more
      A              G                D
Since fame & fortune knocked upon our door
G                             D
I spend all my evenings all a-lone
   A               G              D
Success has made a failure of our home
Verse
If we could spend an evening now & then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done for you

Chorus
You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame & fortune knocked upon our door
I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
