   G (320003@1)                            C (x32010@1)Passed through main street yesterday
   G (320003@1)                            C (x32010@1)And, oh, this town just ain't the same
   G (320003@1)                            C (x32010@1)Looked in the window and it was gone
   G (320003@1)                            C (x32010@1)All those tables I'd written on

        D (xx0232@1)                                       C (x32010@1)We're vanished as if I had never been there
        D (xx0232@1)                                                              C (x32010@1)Like the poets and prophets who can't find the words so they stare
        D (xx0232@1)                                             C (x32010@1)And all that made sense has somehow turned askew
            D (xx0232@1)      D (xx0232@1)      D (xx0232@1)      C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)I missed my chance with you


    G (320003@1)                                                             C (x32010@1)There were seconds then minutes then years that I could not breathe
    G (320003@1)                                                             C (x32010@1)In the Pere Lachaise with the hammer the chisel and the stone
    G (320003@1)                                          C (x32010@1)Now I've bartered and begged for what I believed
    G (320003@1)                                        C (x32010@1)And I saw that the name engraved was my own


        D (xx0232@1)                                              C (x32010@1)Now there's nothing so peaceful as when I met you
	D (xx0232@1)                                                 C (x32010@1)And there's nothing so lonely as when it was through
        D (xx0232@1)                                             C (x32010@1)And the words, "I'm not here anymore", echo into
             D (xx0232@1)      D (xx0232@1)      D (xx0232@1)      C (x32010@1)           G (320003@1)             C (x32010@1)"I missed my chance with you"


    G (320003@1)                                C (x32010@1)Had love play so many tricks on me
    G (320003@1)                                             C (x32010@1)I've always felt cheated that you'd make me leave
    G (320003@1)                                        C (x32010@1)Like taking my sight after letting me see
    G (320003@1)                                            C (x32010@1)But I found out love had something up it's sleeve


        D (xx0232@1)                                                    C (x32010@1)Leave me scattered like leaves by winds that never blew
        D (xx0232@1)                       C (x32010@1)When I captured the starts
        D (xx0232@1)                               C (x32010@1)In the palm of my hand it was true
             D (xx0232@1)       D (xx0232@1)      D (xx0232@1)        C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1)I'd just give them back to you



    G (320003@1)                                  C (x32010@1)I was seventeen, but just for one year
    G (320003@1)                                  C (x32010@1)I always knew one day, I'd end up here
    G (320003@1)                                                        C (x32010@1)And the sands have now fallen to the evening of my afternoon
    G (320003@1)                                                       C (x32010@1)I'm was always so ready to stay and always leaving too soon



        D (xx0232@1)                                             C (x32010@1)And I don't want to think about it now, but I do
        D (xx0232@1)                      C (x32010@1)And my spirit is restless
        D (xx0232@1)                    C (x32010@1)'Cause I know it's true
            D (xx0232@1)      D (xx0232@1)       D (xx0232@1)  C (x32010@1)I missed my chance with you
