Verse1:


  Bb          Bb6                Bbmaj7     Bb6
  We said a million times we'd change,
  Bb            Bb6                Bbmaj7 Bb6
  Can't bring myself to say those words again.
  Eb                   F
  A piper never changes tune,
  Eb                            Bb
  You can't grow apples on the moon.



Verse2:


  Bb           Bb6                Bbmaj7     Bb6
  The hurtful things we say still penetrate,
  Bb        Bb6               Bbmaj7         Bb6
  And whispered sorrys always come too late.
  Eb                   F
  Then the damage has been done,
  Eb                            Bb   Bb6   Bbmaj7   Bb6
  What er we going to tell our son.



Chorus:


  Eb                          Bb
  I want to spare his broken heart.
  Eb                          Bb
  Brek it gently that we'll live apart
  F                             Eb
  Don't know the proper way to say
                                  Bb   Bb6   Bbmaj7  Bb6
  He won't be seeing daddy ev'ry day.



Verse3:


  Those weekly outings never work you know,
  Buying gifts and candy picture shows.
  They can't replace the man around,
  Your voice, your touch, your manly sound.



Verse4:


  I quess the trouble is I love you still,
  And if it comes to that I always will.
  No, please don't cry, it's just too late
  Now hurry on, she's waiting at the gate


Chorus
