It won’t be eas y, you’ll think it (F)strange
when I try to ex plain how I (G7)feel,

You won’t be (Am)lieve me.
All you will see is a (D)girl you once knew, al (D)though she’s dressed up to the (G)nines

I had to let it hap pen, I had to (F)change;
could n’t stay all my life down at (G7)heel,
look ing out of the win dow, stay ing (C)out of the sun.
So I chose (Am)free dom, they’re run ning a round try ing (D)ev ’ry thing new, but (D)noth ing im pressed me at (G)all.
I (D)nev er ex pect ed it (G)to.
(C)Don’t cry for me Ar gen ti na,

All through my (G)wild days, my mad ex (Am)ist ence, I kept my (C)prom ise.
Don’t keep your (F)dis tance.
And as to for it for tune and as for (F)fame,

They are il (Am)lu sions, they’re not the so lu tions they (D)prom ised to be.
The (D)an swer was here all the (G)time.
I (D)love you and hope you love (G)me.
(C)Don’t cry for me Ar gen ti na,
the (F)truth is I (C)nev er left you.
All through my (G)wild days, my mad ex (Am)ist ence, I kept my (C)prom ise.
Don’t keep your (F)dis tance.
Have I said too much?
There’s noth ing more I can think of to (Em7)say to you.
But (Fma7)all you have to do is look at me to know that ev ’ry (C)word is true.
(F)dis tance.
