{intro} 
 

  C5        E5            A5 
I tried my best to get over you 
       F5             F5                   G5  G5 
Kept my distance so I wouldn't have to show 
         C5                     E5              A5 
That the things which I kept hidden by my casual smile 
         F5            F5                G5   G5     
Were the things that I needed you to know 
 

               C5        E5             
You could have seen the acting on the stage 
               F5          F5            G5   G5 
You might have read the writing on the page 
               A5             G5          F5             C5  -  E5 
You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two 
              A5          A5  F5 
But you never knew it was I was falling for 
 

C5  E5  G5  A5  D5  D5  F5  G5 - G5 
you   {intro chords} 
 
Sometimes I still think that I could get to you 

Then I laugh, think I could swim the seven seas 

It seems when I am set to fly, there's a storm up in the sky 

When I'm set to sail, there isn't any breeze 
 
You could have seen the acting on the stage 

You might have read the writing on the page 

You could have noticed that a heart went breaking into two 

But you never knew that it was I was falling for you 
 
{Guitar solo; same chords as a verse} 
 
It's been some time now when I saw you in a photograph 

Looking just the way you did so long ago 

And I could almost see you throw your head back and start to laugh 

In that gentle way you used to let me know 
 

            G5           B5 (?)          E5          G5 
Things were okay, and a hurting song is just a cliche 
    A5                     A5        F5     F5 
And what's the use if they only always fade away 
     F5            F5          G5 - G5 
Just like the sun, just like everyone but 
C5   E5  A5  A5  F5  G5 - G5  C5 
you.
