won't remember all that's said Say farewell and close the door You'll find me nevermore A G D A That I believe in That that I believe in A G D(hold) That that I believe in you D(hold) Must be a crying shame Tell you a story of that which comes last All of the sorrow that lives in the past Now if you're tired of all that's been told Don't be surprised that I've grown so old Drink your wine away instead I won't remember all that's said Say farewell and close the door You'll find me nevermore That I believe in That I believe in That I believe in you Must be a crying shame Breathing ind shadows or dead on the vine I'm there in the morning to take you sometimes To watch what you gather and hold in your hand The numbers are many who misunderstand Drink your wine away instead I wont remember all that's said Say farewell and close the door You'll find me nevermore That I believe in That I believe in That I believe in That I believe in That I believe in you Must be a crying shame (x 3) Oh
