Lyrics

It won’t be ea sy, you’ll think it (Gb)strange

when I try to ex plain how I (Ab7)feel,

that I still need your love af ter (Db)all that I’ve done:

You won’t be (Bbm)lieve

me,

all you will see is a (Eb)girl you once knew, al (Eb)though she’s dressed up to the (Ab)nines

at (Eb7)six es and se vens with (Ab)you.

I had to let it hap pen, I had to (Gb)change;

could n’t stay all my life down at (Ab7)heel,

look ing out of the win dow, stay ing (Db)out of the sun.

So I chose (Bbm)free

dom,

run ning a round try ing (Eb7)ev ry thing new; but (Eb)no thing im pressed me at (Ab)all,

I (Eb7)nev er ex pect ed it (Ab)to.

(Db)Don’t cry for me Ar gen (Gb)ti (Db)na,

the (Gb)truth is I (Db)nev er left you,

all through my (Ab)wild days,

my mad ex (Bbm)ist ence,

I kept my (Dbmaj7)pro mise,

Don’t keep your (Gbmaj7)dis tance.

And as for for tune and as for (Gb)fame.

I nev er in vi ted them (Ab)in,

through it (Ab7)seemed to the world they were (Db)all I de sired.

They are il (Bbm)lu sions,

they’re not the so lu tions they (Eb7)pro mised to be, the (Eb)ans wer was here all the (Ab)time

I (Eb7)love you and hope you love (Ab)me.

(Db)Don’t cry for me Ar gen ti na.

Mm

(Db)Don’t cry for me Ar ten (Gb)ti (Db)na

the (Gb)truth is I (Db)nev er left you,

all through my (Ab)wild days

my mad ex (Bbm)ist ence,

I kept my (Dbmaj7)pro mise,

don’t keep your (Gbmaj7)dis tance.

(Gbm)Have I said too much?

There’s no thing more I can think of to (Fm7)say to you.

But (Gbmaj7)all you have to do is look at me to know that ev ’ry (Db)word is true.
