       G (320003@1)                   CBut (x32010@1)it werent just the music playing

        C (x32010@1)  D (xx0232@1)      GBut (320003@1)its far, far from me



       G (320003@1)          CWell (x32010@1)I leaned on my left leg

      A (x02220@1)                      DAnd (xx0232@1)I wished for once I werent right
       C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)     GWhy (320003@1)we used to laugh together
        C (x32010@1)              DAnd (xx0232@1)wed dance to any old song.
        G (320003@1)                   CWell (x32010@1)ya know she still laughs with me
        D (xx0232@1)                    GBut (320003@1)she waits just a second to long.
