Cm
Broken glass and cigarettes,
Bb
Writing on the wall,
         F
It was a bargain for the summer,
      C
And I thought I had it all.
          Cm
I was the one who gave you everything,
Bb
The one who took the fall,
             F
You were the one who would do anything,
    C
The one who can't recall.

           Cm
Where she was while she was sleeping,
     Bb
In another woman's bed,
       F
Or the doctor's or the lawyer's,
     C
Or a stranger that she met.
           Cm
If there's nothing I can gain from this,
Bb
Or anything at all,
          F
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me,
       
When I thought I'd heard it all.

         F5               F#5
It was a long time for you,
         F5               F#5
It was a long time for me,
         F5                 F#5 
It'd be a long time for anyone, but
         F5         F#5
Looks like it's meant to be.

Cm
Social class and registers,
Bb
Cocaine in the hall,
        F
All the way from California,
       C
On the way to your next call
         Cm
To those non-negotiations,
Bb
To stimulate a cause
        F
For the betterment of evils and
     C
Your ways around the laws
              Cm
That keep you up and sitting pretty,
     Bb
On a pedestal or bed
    F
And now you're sleeping like an angel,
         C
Near the man who reaped it in

            Cm
If there's something I can make of this,
Bb
Or anything at all,
        F
It'd be the devil hates a loser and
    
You thought you had it all.

           F5               F#5
It was the wrong time for you,
           F5               F#5
It was the wrong time for me,
           F5                F#5
It was the wrong time for everyone,
    F5            F#5                Eb
But looks like I got to see for myself.


              Bb               
If I could go back in time
        F
To the place In my soul,

There all alone
Ab                  G
Lonely tear drops ooh
               Cm
Are calling you.
    Bb                        Ab
But I don't wanna know it now,
                 G                           F
'Cause knowing you it won't it change a damn thing.
                     C
But there was a time.

(Solo)

Cm           
Yeah, there was a time,
Bb
Didn't wanna know it all,
F
Didn't wanna know it all and
                     
I don't wanna know it now,

Cm           
Yeah, there was a time,
Bb
Didn't wanna know it all,
F
Didn't wanna know it all and
                     
I don't wanna know it now,

(Solo)

Cm              Bb            F
Oh, I would do anything for you,
            
There was a time,
Cm          Bb          F
I would do anything for you,
Cm               Bb            F    
Oh, I would do anything for you,
            
There was a time.

(Solo)
F            
There was a time,
Cm           Bb          F
I would do anything for you,
Cm           
Yeah, there was a time,
Bb
Didn't wanna know it all,
F
Didn't wanna know it all,
                       Cm
I don't wanna know it now,
Bb
Didn't wanna know it all,
F                     Cm
I don't wanna know it now
