( Em ) walkin’ down this lonely stretch of beach , she and i walked ( D ) down a thousand times

( D ) and my mind drifts away ( G ) to that house across the bay ( Em ) ( A )
( G ) a long talk and A ( A ) glass of wine ( D ) and we’d love the night away ( G )
but that was yesterday ( Em ) ( A ) in that house across the ( D ) bay

her ( Em ) laughter was contagious , her walk , her talk , her smile lit up ( D ) every room
they say things ( Em ) happen for a reason , but i can’t find one good reason , why
she’s ( D ) gone so soon
( Em ) life just seems to hang on every thought and everything ( Em/F# ) we ( A ) used to be

( G ) it gets cold here ( A ) in the winter time

but that was yesterday ( Em ) ( A ) in that house across the ( D ) bay
