[Intro]
Am  Fmaj7/C   C/G      Fmaj7/C   Am   C/G
Am  Fmaj7/C   C/G      Fmaj7/C   Am   Fmaj7/C  C/G

[Verse]
            Am  Fmaj7/C          C/G
If I showed up.....to your wedding
         Fmaj7/C        Am      C/G
wearing black and blue and red
         Am  Fmaj7/C      C/G
wouldn't it....seem fitting
              Fmaj7/C     Am           Fmaj7/C  C/G
cause I'm as bruised and angry as I've ever been.

[Chorus]
 G             Am          Fmaj7/C
  There was a time when I called you,
 G             Am          Fmaj7/C       C/G
  There was a time when I called you mine.

[Instrumental]
Am  Fmaj7/C   C/G       Fmaj7/C   Am   Fmaj7/C   C/G

[Verse]
          Am    Fmaj7/C             C/G
This old house.....is cold and empty
      Fmaj7/C        Am        C/G
even these old walls have bent.
        Am  Fmaj7/C             C/G
I laid down.... you're not with me.
       Fmaj7/C       Am     C/G
Waking up just sinks it in.

[Chorus]
 G             Am          Fmaj7/C
  There was a time when I called you,
 G             Am           Fmaj7/C   C/G
  There was a time when I called you mine.

[Instrumental]
G  Am  Fmaj7/C     G   Am  Fmaj7/C  C/G (hold)

[Verse]
                    Am             Fmaj7/C            C/G
(softly) There's no gold on either side of the Mississippi,
    Fmaj7/C        Am           C/G
No silver in this world left to find.
          Am   Fmaj7/C                C/G
Precious metal......and precious memories
      Fmaj7/C     Am             C/G
slip away, slip away, from your finger-and-your-mind.

[Chorus]
 G             Am          Fmaj7/C
  There was a time when I called you,
 G             Am          Fmaj7/C   C/G
  There was a time when I called you mine.
