In the hope I'll forget I'll wait

In the spring I'll watch my step

       C             F       F                        
While the night-time passes by

       C              F      F                          
When a smile suits me all alone

I'll be fine

(F)                 F

         F
Before I hang upon your shoulder

Telling the truth it may be bolder this time

Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry

Watching friends playing in the dirt

         C       F       F                            
Feeling hard but feeling hurt

       C            F          F                          
By the sadness that wastes my time

It's a crime

         C          F      F                     
Counting acts which I must add

      C        F    F                
To collect sad memories

       C        F        F                   
From a past I'd soon forget

           C  F  F      
Swap or leave

There's got to be a better song to sing

             F

To the friends that were my lies
