       D            A        G
In the hope I'll forget I'll wait

       D           A       G
It's a chance I'll take oh yeah

       D            A        G
In the hope I'll forget I'll wait

         D  A  G
For the time

       D           A         G
In the spring I'll watch my step

       D             A       G                        
While the night-time passes by

       D              A      G                          
When a smile suits me all alone

          D  A  G                      
I'll be fine

(G)                 A
There's got to be a better song to sing

         G
Before I hang upon your shoulder

            G                          A
Telling the truth it may be bolder this time

                    D              A
There's got to be a better song to sing

             G
That makes a lonely one less cold oh

         G                          A
Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry
D A G G(4 times) A G G A (once) D A G G A (once)
         D               A        G                           
Watching friends playing in the dirt

         D       A       G                            
Feeling hard but feeling hurt

       D            A          G                          
By the sadness that wastes my time

          D  A  G                      
It's a crime

         D          A      G                     
Counting acts which I must add

      D        A    G                
To collect sad memories

       D        A        G                   
From a past I'd soon forget

           D  A  G      
Swap or leave

(G)                 A
There's got to be a better song to sing

         G
Before I hang upon your shoulder

            G                          A
Telling the truth it may be bolder this time

                    D              A
There's got to be a better song to sing

             G
That makes a lonely one less cold oh

         G                          A
Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry

       D       A        G                    
At the gate I'll wave goodbye

       D            A        G                       
To the friends that were my lies

         D        A      G                   
And I'll see them off at dawn

         D  A  G      
Feeling wise

         D  A  G           
Feeling wise

         D  A  G               
Feeling wise

D  A  G  
(repeat till the end and end on D)
