Lyrics

Your day breaks, your mind aches, you find that (C)all her words of (Fmaj7)kind ness lin ger (Bb6)on when she no (C)long er needs you.

She wakes up, she makes up, she takes her (C)time and does n’t (Fmaj7)feel she has to (Bb6)hur ry; she no (C)long er needs you.

And in her (Dm)eyes

you are (A7)noth ing,

no sign of love be hind (A)the (Dm)tears

cried for (A7)no one;

a love that should have last (A)ed (Dm)years.

You want her,

you need her,

and yet you (C)don’t be lieve her (Fmaj7)when she says her (Bb6)love is dead; you (C)think she needs you.

You stay home,

she goes out,

she says that (C)long a go she (Fmaj7)knew some one but (Bb6)now he’s gone; she (C)does n’t need him.

Your day breaks,

your mind aches,

there will be (C)times when all the (Fmaj7)things she said will (Bb6)fill your head; you (C)won’t for get her.

And in her (Dm)eyes you are (A7)noth ing,

no sign of love be hind (A)the (Dm)tears cried for (A7)no one;

a love that should have last (A)ed (Dm)years.
