VERSE 1:
A Bm F#m
Remember when our so-called friend would not call out to you while tumbling loosely out a hole punched through
D A Bm F#m
your home? It's pretty clear, though you could hear, you truly finally knew in time, he'll tell his tale
D
the way he'd like it told.
F#m D Bm D
Now he isn't on the phone. His story might as well be so.
VERSE 2:
A Bm F#m D
Well, loving is as loving does, and I'd say we should know, because we both have loved and lost and are alone.
A Bm F#m
Your face's falling tears, to me they're lovely and they're dear, though you don't love me and it's clear that
D
I will never see you in my arms.
F#m D Bm D

A Bm D A
Although I had started to think there might be hope, it isn't so.
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE:
A Bm F#m D
A Bm F#m D
BRIDGE:
F#m Bm D A
So wake up, make up some new song again around the same tune.
F#m Bm

D A

VERSE 3:

home. Sixty days of trips and stays you took to tell me, dear, that you cannot love me because you secretly
still love a stone.
F#m D Bm D
Though I put my lips to your face, trying to push his kiss out of its place...
A Bm D A
Although my heart started to race, now it has slowed, I'll let it go.
