Time was once just a clock to me
D G A
And life was just a book a biography
D G D
Success was something you just had to be
D G A
And I would spend myself unknowingly
G A D
And you know that I could have me a million more friends
D A
And all Id have to lose is my point of view
D G
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
A D
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
D G D
An apple will spoil if its been abused
D G A
A candle disappears when its been used
D G D
A rainbow may follow up a hurricane
D G A
And I cant leave forever on a train
G A D
And you know that Id survive if I never spoke again
D A
And all Id have to lose is my vanity
D G
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
A D
Till last night when you sat and talked with me.
D G D
You can smile for the lack of something else to do
D G A
And no one will laugh and point at you
D G D
If your tears didnt always make me feel so bad
D G A
Would you still cry every time that you felt sad?
G A D
I thought Id heard and seen enough to get along
D A
Till you said something neither of us knew
D G
And I had no idea what a good time would cost
A D A D
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
