C#
Avalon, how did these things happen?
Avalon, tell me all you know
            G#        C#                
The perfect crime, we laughed about it, 
                        G#
laughed the whole night through
     C#                                G#
When we were caught, it was because of you
C#
Talkin bout all that we once knew

C#
Avalon, the clock is falling back now
Avalon, we'd be if we could
            G#       C#                          G#
You used to say "the water's fine, nevermind the view"
  C#                            G# 
I didn't mind as long as I have you
C#
Talkin bout all that we've been through

F#  G#    F#  G#               F        D#    C#
Somedays, somedays we might be tired of being tired
F#  G#    F#  G#         F      D#     C#
We claim, we claim to be one of one of one

          G#       C#
We didn't know the things we said
               G#
Would turn out untrue
    C#                                   G#                 C#
The day would come when I'd be somewhere new and what about you
                                                     F        D#    C#
Times have changed for me and times have changed for you, for you
                                   C#7
Talkin bout all that we once knew
