[intro]

  C5        E5        Am(9)    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       Am(9)       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         Am(9)   Am(9)
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  C7M.
you.
