[Primeira Parte]

C               B7   Em                   G
  All cautions made,  every chance was given
C             B7       Em           G
  No effort spared to save what we had
C              B7      Em            G
  All in good faith I would not hesitate
C              B7       Em          G
  To extend myself and lend you my hand

                        Em             B5  Am
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
             C                 G5  Em
Had to be a fool, had to throw it  all away
                                     B5   Am
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
               C                   G5  Em
If that were true, it wouldn't matter  anyway

[Segunda Parte]

C             B7   Em            G
  As tempers fade,  and lies forgiven
C              B7           Em           G
  No cause embraced could break what we had
C          B7   Em              G
  In its place,  a storm is liftin'
C              B7                  Em        G
  I would've thought you could be more of a man
