My (F)yes And ter ’ry are all boxed up

But my but ev ’ry now and (Dm)then, you come to mind.

’Cause you were al ways (F)wait ing to be (Dm)picked to play the game,

when you (Bb)knew that I was al ways on your side.

so sweet and in no cent.

But my but de mons and my (Dm)an gels re ap peared.

’Cause Leav ing on ly (F)trac es of the (Dm)man you thought I’d be.

but Too af (Bb)raid to hear the (Csus)words I’d (C)al ways feared,

leav ing (Bb)you with on ly ques tions all your these (Bb)years.

But is there some place far a way, some (A)place where all is clear,

eas y to start o ver with the (G)ones you hold so dear?

(F)Or, (Bb)are you left to wan der
