 C               G 
Take me to the station
    C            G 
And put me on a train
     C            G 
I've got no expectations
    F            C     G 
To pass through here again

C            G 
Once I was a rich man
C            G 
Now I am so poor
     C             G 
But never in my sweet short life
        F         C    G 
Have I felt like this before

      C               G 
Your heart is like a diamond
     C                    G 
You throw your pearls at swine
     C               G 
And as I watch you leaving me
    F         C      G
You pack my piece of mind

Instrumental (Repeat Intro)      
    
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
It's here, and then it's gone

So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again

End with the last note of the intro
