        C
Just a small town girl in the city lights
F             G         C
The best was yet to come
      C
Then lonely days turned to endless nights
F             G      C
The best was yet to come

F
How were you to know
      A#7                   Em A7sus4 A7
That you would be the lucky one
          Dm7/A            Fm
Ain't it funny how time flies
                         C
When the best is yet to come

You can cry yourself to sleep at night
You can't change the things you've done
You had it there then it slipped away
Yeah you left the song unsung

Even through your tears
I never saw you come undone
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come

Chorus:
   G#          A#            D#
I find myself thinkin' about yesterday
      G#           A#          C
When you were and livin' in a dream
        G#             A#
In the moment that it takes
              G/B               Cm
You find you made your first mistake
          Fm
Like the setting sun...
     G
You turn around it's go one

Just a small time girl who had it made
Or so the story goes
She had it there then it slipped away
Oh - how was she to know

Even through her tears
I never saw her come undone
Ain't it funny how time flies
When the best was yet to come
What's so good about goodbye
When the best was yet to come
