[Verse 1]
                Bm    G  A      Bm  G  A
She was born in April,        1783
         Bm                 G   A                               Bm   G  A
The only daughter of a lawyer in a little town that skirted the sea
               Bm           G   A                         Bm  G  A
She showed her mother's beauty,   and when she caught his eye
       Bm               G    A                          Bm   G  A
He was taken by her innocence, it'd only be a matter of time
     Bm            A                  Bm               A                Bm
But then one day a cold wind blew and she took ill and wouldn't make it long
      A           Bm        A
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Bm                A             Bm              A                   Bm    A
All that he could do is sit and wonder how something so right could go
    Bm    A
So wrong
 
[Chorus 1]
    Bm                 G                D
And before she died he told her that he loved her
            Bm              G               A
He said, "I know we'll be together sometime soon"
            Bm               G              D           C      Bm
He said, "I don't believe in heaven" as she brushed his tears aside
       G                                A
And he added just before she closed her eyes,
        Em         Abm       A    B                      Bm   G  A   Bm  G  A
"If you think that this was good,  wait until the next life"
 
[Verse 2]
         Bm     G  A      Bm   G  A
It was a Friday,       1983
         Bm              G       A                             Bm   G   A
He was a parking lot attendant in a little town in north Tennessee
       Bm     G   A                     Bm   G   A
A car approaching,    and when they met eyes
              Bm                G     A                             Bm   G  A
They sort of smiled at each other for a minute but they didn't know why
     Bm                 A              Bm            A                Bm
Then something made her shudder like a butterfly set free from her caccoon
      A           Bm        A
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la
  Bm            A            Bm                A          Bm      A   Bm   A
A flash of indistinguishable moments shared in rainy afternoons
 
[Chorus 2]
          Bm             G             D
They were married on the second day of summer
            Bm             G             A
Watched the beauty turn to wrinkles over time
      Bm               G                 D  C  Bm
And before he died she told him that she loved him
           G                               A
And it was when she said these words he realized
       Em         Ab       A    B                D         Em  D  G
If you think that this was good,  wait until the next life

[Bridge]
          Bm                 G             D
So if you feel like you have known someone forever
           Bm            G               A
Don't just walk away and spend the night alone
       Bm               G               D       Bm
For it could be someone far behind your future
G                                    A
Waiting for their heart to come back home
           Em         Abm      A    B                  Bm
And if you think that this was good,    wait until the next life
G     A           Bm
La la la la la la la
G     A           Bm
La la la la la la la
G     A           Bm
La la la la la la la
G     A           Bm
La la la la la la la
      A           Bm
La la la la la la la
      A           Bm
La la la la la la la
      A           Bm
La la la la la la la
      A           Bm
La la la la la la la
