         D            A              D
It's so long since I sang songs for you
      D           A             D
I forget all the words I once knew
         G                               D
I could look back but I can't waste the time
        G                             A
Did it matter they sometimes didn't rhyme?
         D            A              D
It's so long since I sang songs for you

It's so long since you smiled just for me
Now your smile's just an old used-to-be
Does it matter that I can't take the time?
Would you rather I write you one more line?
Can my songs once again be for you?

Chorus:
  D             G           A
Claudie made a fool out of me
 D             G               A
Made me find another place to be
Em                 A
I've been living alone
      Em                  A
In a house that wasn't my own
       Em             G               D
With Claudie is the place I long to be

When I left, did you think of me crying?
Did you care that I felt I was dying?
I pretended that I don't give a damn
All along I've known what I really am
I'm a fool little Claudie just for you
