Intro: D Em7 D Em7

D Em We set by ourselves, still looking for company

D Em There could have been peace, but that eluded me

F#m G All I could think of, was what was on your mind

F#m You tried to be kind,

G Bm F#m but I blocked your feelings.

Em F#m G F#m Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room

Em C E and cry.

A F#m B You tried

G A F#m B to make me one,

G A F#m B but I always hide

G A when there's

G A G a glimpse of sun.

D Em Running along in sunlight meadows

D Em your eyes were never more than half-closed:

F#m G D through fluttering lashes, you watched you watching me.

F#m I tried to be true

G Bm F#m Em to the way that you thought I ought to be

F#m G Bm F#m but, in spite of all my efforts,

Em C E I failed.

A F#m B G A F#m B I tried to make you see

G A F#m B but your eyes were blind

G A G A G to all but the bad in me.

(Bridge): D A G (x5)

D A G What do you think I mean

D A G when I say that I need you?

D A G How am I supposed to seem

D A G when we hit another problem and the answers are all torn from my book?

D A G (x4)

D Em Our lives are on paths we just can't control;

D Em we can grow closer as we get old....

F#m G Can you imagine us as we adjust?

F#m Can you imagine us

G Bm F#m getting near eighty;

Em F#m G Bm F#m we live more sedately, still hoping our dreams will

Em C E come true?

A F#m B G A F#m B G We'll try to be secure....

A F#m B G But I'm of uncertain mind

A G A and how can I be sure?

G A how can I be sure?

G how can I be sure?
