B
He said, Dear, I'm leaving, right there in the hallway

                             E
As the party roared on all around

                                  B
And her head wouldn't turn, O she couldn't look at him

     F#            C#m     F#
In a whirlpool she quietly drowned

G#m               D#       G#m                D#     
And she said to herself, I won't cry, I won't grieve

G#m                     D#            E
But I'll laugh and I'll flow with the wine

                                           B
With the fast love of strangers we'll sing Sweet Bye and Bye

      F#                 B
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne

      B
How I wish I knew all the old songs they're singing

                                                        F#
Such comfort they're bringing  to a heart that's as empty as mine

     C#m                           E 
O it lifts you so high, does the Sweet Bye and Bye

      F#                 B
Happy Days and Auld Lang Syne

And she said, I'll be wearing my smile like a mask And I'll care for each stranger I kiss And no-one will know that I'm wounded and cheated So close to my moment of bliss And sometimes you never connect with a song Till it's telling the way that you feel Putting words to your story, all the pain and the glory How can it be written so real How I wish I knew... by: José Duarte [email protected]
