Intro: (C, Am, C, F)

C                                            Am

A long, long time ago you told me

C                                                             F

Just how long you thought you'd be mine,

C                                                   Am

So here's a song for you from someone 

           D          G

At the end of time.

(C, Am, C, F)

C                                                Am

I've tried to understand your thinking,

C                                               F

But I just can't get shallow enough.

C                                                   Am

Could you explain to me your reasons

                    D              G

To choose lust over love? 

F                                          C

I guess it got a whole lot clearer

G                                               C

The day you left and set me free.

F                                               C

The day I finally stopped believing

                      Am         C

You weren't leaving me.

C                                                Am

I will admit that there have been nights

C                                               F

When the streetlights burn the sky,

C                                                   Am

And I remember how you loved me

                           D

Like an honest guy

                                        G

Who just happened to lie.

C                                      Am

I find I'm turning to the grapevine.

C                                                    F

It tells me you've got someone else.

C                                                  Am

They say that both of you are happy now,

                       D

But time will tell.

                                 G

I guess I wish you well,

F                                               C

But I know it got a whole lot clearer (Yeah)

G                                               C

The day you left and set me free.

F                                                          C

Well, does she know that you're a leaver,

                          Am

And that you'll leave her

                      C

Like you left me?

F                                        C

I know it got a whole lot clearer (Yes it did.)

The day you left and set me free.

F                                                          C

Well, does she know that you're a leaver,

                          Am

And that you'll leave her

                      C

Like you left me.

F                                                       C

But does she know that you're a leaver,

                          Am

And that you'll leave her

                      C

Like you left me.
