Standard Tuning
A Bm
Remember when our so-called friend would not call out to you
F#m D D9
while tumbling loosely out a hole punched through your home?
A Bm
It?s pretty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally knew,
F#m D D9
in time, he?d tell his tale the way he?d like it told.
F#m Bm
Now he isn?t on the phone,
Bm D
and his story might as well be so.
A Bm
Well, loving is as loving does, and I?d say we should know,
F#m D D9
because we both have loved, have lost, and are alone.
A Bm
Your face?s falling tears, to me they?re lovely and they?re dear,
F#m D D9
though you don?t love me and it?s clear that I will never see you in my arms.
F#m Bm
There?s no room in your heart
Bm D D9
for even this finely-sharpened dart;
A F#m Bm D A
although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn?t so.
Bridge: A Bm F#m D D9
F#m Bm D A
So wake up, make up some new song again around the same tune.
A Bm
The water cools, the leaves they fall, the sun it bends, the summer ends;
D A
our so-called friend doesn?t need you.
A Bm
So proceed out the door and down the street. December?s lying near,
F#m D D9
but in the oven?s heat this house is now a home.
A Bm
Sixty days of trips and stays you took to tell me, dear,
F#m D D9
that you cannot love me because you secretly still love a stone.
F#m Bm
Although I put my lips to your face,
Bm D
trying to push his kiss out of its place,
A F#m Bm D A
although my heart started to race, now it has slowed, I?ll let it go.
End: A Bm F#m D (X2) A
