verse :
A
i find it hard , hard to let go
Amaj7
and you are entitled to know
A7 D
you have brought nothing else but bliss ,
Dm A F#m
a great deal of frustration , a voluntary occupation ,
Bm Dm A
driving me insane and off the wall
verse :
A
and we were free to choose each other
Amaj7
but now it seems like something other
A7 D
have you placed me where i stand?
Dm A F#m
turned caring like a mother , afraid to lose each other
Bm Dm Dm6
it got us this far , now problems are :
refrain :
A C# D Dm
i have no bags to pack , no suitcase waiting in the hall
A F#m F E
you have no make – up , no stocki – ings in my drawer
A F#m Bm E A
oh – oh , how did we forge – et? how could we forget?
F#m Bm E A
it’s easy to lear – earn if you never regret
[ interlude ]
verse :
A
when you live in paranoia
Amaj7
and you know she’s got you , oh yeah
A7 D
you can’t leave until you know the truth
Dm A F#m
so for months you’re going nowhere until you seize the day
Bm Dm A
and place yourself behind the steering wheel
verse :
A
or you can’t end like you don’t want to ,
Amaj7
the opposite of what you planned to
A7 D
you can watch the ships when they’re abroad
Dm A F#m
become a joke when people see you , ’cause it’s enough to please you
Bm Dm Dm6 A
you got this far , step put of the car
[ repeat chorus ]
[ repeat interlude ]
Dm A

A
we’ll never learn in the future ,
Amaj7
this is it , seemingly , i Am sure
A7 D Dm
i know we haven’t been together now
verse :
A
it wasn’t meant to be this way so
Amaj7
we’ll give it days and days and
A7 D
we’ll try to make it easy now
Dm
once i believed we could approach this ,
A F#m Bm Dm6 – A
now i have faith placed in the things you call fa – ate
Dm Dm6 A
in the things you call fa – ate
Dm A
in the things you call fate
