Dear Rosemary

You've got a way, got a way, got away with things
You got away, got away, got away with things
False start young hearts get shattered
Pick up the pieces coming down around you
You ran away, ran away, ran away, it was right on cue
Should I go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on again

Chorus

G           A         Bm               A         G
This was no ordinary life (this was no ordinary life)
G           A         Bm              A         G
This was no ordinary lie (this was no ordinary lie)
           A      Bm      A         G
I'm here from now on, but once I'm gone,
     E
I'm gone

Truth ain't gonna change the way you lie
Youth ain't gonna change the way you die

Dear Rosemary (Dear Rosemary)
You're a part of me (You're a part of me)
Dear Rosemary (Dear Rosemary)
Please pardon me (Please pardon me)
Dear Rosemary

You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me
