Lyrics

(Eb)Some day,

(Ab)some day

you’ll re al (Eb)ize that you’ve been (Eb7)blind.

Yes, (Ab)dar ling, you’re go ing to need me a gain;

it’s just a mat ter of (Bb7)time.

(Eb)Go on,

(Ab)go on

un til you (Eb)reach the end of the (Eb7)line.

But (Ab)I know

you’ll pass this way a gain;

it’s just a (Bb7)mat ter of (Eb)time.

Af ter I (Ab)gave you

ev ’ry (Abm)thing I had, you (Eb)laughed and called me a (Eb7)clown.

Re mem ber (Ab)in your search for (Abm)for tune and fame, what (F9)goes up

must come (Bb7)down.

(Eb)I know,

(Ab)I know

that (Eb)one day you’ll wake up and (Eb7)find

that (Ab)my love

was a true love;

it’s just a (Bb7)mat ter of (Eb)time.

(Eb)Some day,

(Ab)some day

you’ll re al (Eb)ize that you’ve been (Eb7)blind.

Yes, (Ab)dar ling,

you’re go ing to need me a gain;

it’s just a mat ter of (Bb7)time.

(Eb)Go on,

(Ab)go on

un til you (Eb)reach the end of the (Eb7)line.

But (Ab)I know

you’ll pass this way a gain;

it’s just a (Bb7)mat ter of (Eb)time.

Af ter I (Ab)gave you

ev ’ry (Abm)thing I had, you (Eb)laughed and called me a (Eb7)clown.

Re mem ber (Ab)in your search for (Abm)for tune and fame, what (F9)goes up

must come (Bb7)down.

(Eb)I know,

(Ab)I know

that (Eb)one day you’ll wake up and (Eb7)find

that (Ab)my love

was a true love;

it’s just a (Bb7)mat ter of (Eb)time.

(Eb)time.
