D                                 G
The days have been long
                              D
And I have been lonesome
                        A
Recalling the dreams
                               D
That never came true
                                       G
The nights have been lonely
                                D
But now that's all over
                                    A
'Cause I've paid my debt
                           D
For trusting in you

Chorus

           G                                          D
Every day your memory grows dimmer
                      A
Clouds drift away
                              D
Sunshine peeps through
           G                                    D
Every night no longer you'll haunt me
                                A
My conscience is clear
                            D
Oh what about you

G D A D during solo
                    G
It's hard to believe
                              D
That you are the same one
                                     A
That once meant so much
                           D
And I loved so true
                     G
It's hard to know
                                    D
I've worshipped the wrong one
                              A
But I've paid for it
                               D
Now what about you
