E
E                       C#m
The hour's late and the lights are low

A                     B
I'm walking home just kicking stones

E                     C#m
I waited at the deopt you never showed

A                                 B
You missed the last bus hours ago

E                           C#m
I remember the first time I saw you on the street

E                       A
You looked so pretty my heart skipped a beat

                              B
I can't wait any longer but I still feel the heat

    E                        B
I'm down but I'm still on my feet

  E                 C#m
I walked on down the old fairground

A                          B
Up from the docks blew a lonely sound

E                         C#m
I sat for a while on the cold hard ground

A                                B
Watched the stars slowly turn as the earth spun around

E                          C#m
As the past falls behind up ahead there's a crack

E                                 A
Of light shining bright through the night so black

                             B
Like a runaway train rolling down the track

E                       B
From here there's no turning back

E
Listen to me baby Once upon a time

A                         B
My heart was an ocean You swam against the tide

E
The time is past for grieving My tears have all run dry

A                               B
I'll leave you with my love And now I say goodbye
E A E A
E                          C#m
The bottles broke the glasses are cracked

A                                B
The cards are all dealt and the chips have been stacked

E                                C#m
The lamp shades busted and the curtains are torn

A                                   B
The door keeps knocking but there's nobody home

E                              C#m
I stood by the road brushed a tear from my eye

E                                  A
Cursed the cars and the rain and the rolling grey sky

                               B
I turned around turned my back on that town

E                  B
And I never looked back again

E
Listen to me baby Once upon a time

A                         B
My heart was an ocean You swam against the tide

E
The time is past for grieving My tears have all run dry

A                               B
I'll leave you with my love And now I say goodbye
