B                  D#
I first met you in 1982
C#                 E D# E   D# B
You were drunk and I was underage
                          D#
So now here you are still hanging on the bar
    C#                E  D#  E       D# B
And I'm still staring at you from the stage


[PD  CHORUS]
      G#                             B
And I can't be mad at you for coming here with someone else
          G#                                  C#             E
And I don't want to laugh at you, but somehow I can't help myself


[Verse 2]
       B                         D#
'Cause there was a time when you looked me in the eye
    C#           E    D# E  D# B
But now you only look me in the nose
                               D#
And you were at your best with whiskey on your dress
    C#                E  D#  E D# B
It stained a bit, but it was only clothes


[PD  CHORUS]
            G#                                  B
And I won't buy a drink for you, but that won't mean we're enemies
             G#                                 C#            E
And though I often think of you, they're not all pleasant memories


[Chorus]
      B                             D#
Cause time won't heal the hurt - it drags you in the dirt
    E                         F#
And patience is a virtue that only seems to hurt you
    B                              D#
And someone may be waiting for you when the night is done
     C#             E                     D#    E  D#  B
Yes, someone may be waiting here... but I won't be the one


[Verse 3]
     B                         D#
So I sit here by myself with a yearbook on my shelf
C#            E    D# E  D# B
A document of all I meant to you
                              D#
Well, you misspelled my name, wrote "Please don't ever change!
C#                  E    D#  E  D#  B
Stay in touch! Good luck in all you do!"


[PD  CHORUS]
            G#                               B
I know it shouldn't matter much, but nothing else remains of you
  G#                                           C#                  E
I know I should have had a hunch that you took something with you, too


[Verse 4]
       B                         D#
'Cause there was a time when the words all seemed to rhyme
C#                       E  D#  E    D#  B
And they never seemed to tangle with the tune
B                      D#
But I'm sick and tired of feeling uninspired
    C#                E  D# E    D#  B
And you can't get out of my life too soon


[PD  CHORUS]
            G#                                  B
And I won't buy a drink for you, but that won't mean we're enemies
             G#                                 C#            E
And though I often think of you, they're not all pleasant memories


[Chorus]
      B                             D#
Cause time won't heal the hurt - it drags you in the dirt
    E                         F#
And patience is a virtue that only seems to hurt you
    B                              D#
And someone may be waiting for you when the night is done
     C#             E                     D#    E  D#  B
Yes, someone may be waiting here... but I won't be the one
