(C)This is how the sto ry went: I (Am)met some one by ac (G)ci dent

And it was (C)in the dark est of my days, when you (Am)took my sor row and you (G)took my pain, and (F)bu ried them a way,

(F)bu ried them a way.

I (Dm)wish I could lay down be side you, (C)when the day is done.

And (Dm)wake up to your face a gainst the (Am)morn ing sun.

But like (Dm)ev er y thing I’ve (G)ev er known, you’ll (C)dis ap pear one (Am)day.

So I’ll spend my whole life hid ing my heart

a way.

(C)Dropped you off at the train sta tion and put a kiss on (G)top of your head.

(F)Watched you wave.

I (F)watched you wave.

Then I (C)went on home to my (F)sky scra pers, (Am)ne on lights and wait (G)ing pa pers, that (F)I call home.

I (F)call that home.

I

A way,

yeah.

I (C)woke up feel ing heav (F)y heart ed.

I’m (Am)go ing back to where I start ed.

The (F)morn ing rain,

the (F)morn ing rain.

And (C)though I wish that you were (F)here, on that (Am)same old road that (G)brought me here.

It’s (F)call ing me home.

It’s (F)call ing me home.

I (Dm)wish I could lay down be side you, (C)when the day is done.

And (Dm)wake up to your face a gainst the (Am)morn ing sun.

But like (Dm)ev er y thing I’ve (G)ev er known, you’ll (C)dis ap pear one (Am)day.

So I’ll spend my whole life hid ing my heart

a way.

I can spend my whole life hid ing my heart
