{intro}
C5 E5 A5
I tried my best to get over you
F5 F5 G5 G5
Kept my distance so I wouldn't have to show
C5 E5 A5
That the things which I kept hidden by my casual smile
F5 F5 G5 G5
Were the things that I needed you to know
C5 E5
You could have seen the acting on the stage
F5 F5 G5 G5
You might have read the writing on the page
A5 G5 F5 C5 - E5
You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
A5 A5 F5
But you never knew it was I was falling for
C5 E5 G5 A5 D5 D5 F5 G5 - G5
you {intro chords}
Sometimes I still think that I could get to you
Then I laugh, think I could swim the seven seas
It seems when I am set to fly, there's a storm up in the sky
When I'm set to sail, there isn't any breeze
You could have seen the acting on the stage
You might have read the writing on the page
You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two
But you never knew that it was I was falling for you
{Guitar solo; same chords as a verse}
It's been some time now when I saw you in a photograph
Looking just the way you did so long ago
And I could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh
In that gentle way you used to let me know
G5 B5 (?) E5 G5
Things were okay, and a hurting song is just a cliche
A5 A5 F5 F5
And what's the use if they only always fade away
F5 F5 G5 - G5
Just like the sun, just like everyone but
C5 E5 A5 A5 F5 G5 - G5 C5
you.
