chords and lyrics :
A
in many ways
Bm7
they’ll miss the good old days
D6 A
someday , someday

yeah , it hurts to say
but i want you to stay
sometimes , sometimes

when we was young
oh , man , did we have fun
always , always

promises
they break before they’re made
sometimes , sometimes

A E F#m
oh , my ex says i’m lacking in depth
D A
i will do my best

you say you want to stay by my side
darling , your head’s not right

i see alone we stand , together we fall apart
yeah , i think i’ll be alright

i’m working so i won’t have to try so hard
tables they turn sometimes
E
oh , someday
A
now i ain’t wasting no more time

and now my fears
they come to me in threes
so i sometimes

say faith my friend
you say the strangest things
i find sometimes
