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

Our love is over
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

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

'ceptin' one note, pure and easy
  C         G/C          F/C    G7/C     C
Playing so free, like a breath rippling by
