F             Gm  C7 C            F
Don't look so sad,    I know it's over
F             Gm
But life goes on and this
     C    C7            F
old world will keep on turning
               A#               C
Let's just be glad we had some time
            F
to spend together
            A#                 Gm
There's no need to watch the bridges
            C7
that we're burning

Chorus:
C         F            C7
Lay your head upon my pillow
           C               C7    C       F
Hold your warm and tender body close to mine
          F7             F                 A#
Hear the whisper of the raindrops fallin' soft
against the window
Gm         Gm7        Gm       A#       C7  C
And make believe you love me, one more time
C        F
For the Good times

I'll get along, you'll find another
And I'll be here if you should
find you ever need me
Don't say a word about tomorrow or forever
There'll be time enough for sadness
when you leave me

Chorus

For the good times
