Am
These feelings have been building up
                Gm
Around us for a long time
Am                        Bb
I remember days when your true lovin' ways
                         Dm         D       C
Flowed thru my life just like sweet wine
Gm
And lately you've been acting strange
Am
You feel you need a change
        Bb
There's nothing I can do to make you stay
Gm                 G                        Gm
So if you must say goodbye
Bb                                      F   Bb
This is as good a time as any for me to cry

Am
How can they say that somehow
       Gm
It all works out for the good
Am
When life can be so cruel
C        Bb                             Dm
You feel just like a fool, you know you should
Gm                           Bb           Am
What happened to our dreams, all our well laid schemes
            Bb                          F      C
We just let them slip right on thru our hands
Gm
And all that's left when the fire is gone
Bb                                     F      Am Gm Am
Is just some ashes and a little bit of sand.

Dm                            G
So naive to think it could be sunshine all the way
              Am      Bb
Look out here comes a rainy day
                      F
You know, I'll always love you deep inside
          D#                       Dm
And girl, I know you never lied to me
B                                F#
Oh there was a time we could fly so high
              E
They couldn't catch us if they tried
D#m           D#               G#
They couldn't catch us if they tried.
