The song is over
It's all behind me
I should've known it
She tried to find me

They're all ahead now
I've got to learn it
I'm gonna sing out

When I walked in through the door
E                       D/E
Thought it was me I was looking for
D                        C/D
She was the first song I ever sang
        A#/C                    C
But it stopped as soon as it began

Our love is over
It's all behind me
They're all ahead now
Can't hope to find me

I'm left with only tears
I must remember
Even if it takes a million years
