[Verse]
D Bm The hour's late and the lights are low G A I'm walking home just kicking stones D Bm I waited at the depot you never showed G A You missed the last bus hours ago D I remember the first time Bm I saw you on the street D G You looked so pretty my heart skipped a beat G A I can't wait any longer but I still feel the heat D A I'm down but I'm still on my feet D Bm I walked on down the old fairground G A Up from the docks blew a lonely sound D Bm I sat for a while on the cold hard ground G A Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around D Bm As the past falls behind up ahead there's a crack D G Of light shining bright through the night so black A Like a runaway train rolling down the track D A From here there's no turning back
[Chorus]
D Listen to me baby D Once upon a time G My heart was an ocean A You swam against the tide D The time is past for grieving D My tears have all run dry G I'll leave you with my love A And now I say goodbye
[Interlude]

[Verse]
D Bm The bottles broke the glasses are cracked G A The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked D Bm The lamp shades busted and the curtains are torn G A The door keeps knocking but there's nobody home D Bm I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye D G Cursed the cars and the rain and the rolling grey sky A I turned around turned my back on that town D A And I never looked back again
[Chorus]
D Listen to me baby D Once upon a time G My heart was an ocean A You swam against the tide D The time is past for grieving D My tears have all run dry G I'll leave you with my love A And now I say goodbye

D Listen to me baby D Once upon a time G My heart was an ocean A You swam against the tide D The time is past for grieving D My tears have all run dry G I'll leave you with my love A And now I say goodby
