C7m9 G7 Fmaj7 C Am7
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
Fmaj7 F7m/G Am7 Am/F#
The sentimental fool don't see
C7m9 G7 Fmaj7
Trying hard to recreate
C Am7 Fmaj7 F7m/G Am7
What had yet to be created once in her life
Am/F# C7m9 G7 Fmaj7
She musters a smile
C Am7 Fmaj7
For his nostalgic tale
F7m/G Am7 Am/F# C7m9 G7
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Fmaj7 C Am7
Only to realize
Fmaj7 F7m/G Am7
It never really was
[Chorus]
Am7 A7sus4 G7sus4 G
She had a place in his life
Am7 A7sus4 G7sus4 G
He never made her think twice
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
As he rises to her apology
A7 Dm7 G7 Am7
Anybody else would surely know
Am/F#*
He's watching her go
Fm7 Bb7sus
But what a fool believes he sees
Bb7 Cm7
No wise man has the power to reason away
Fm7 Bb7sus
What seems to be
Bb7 Cm7
Is always better than nothing
(Riff)
And nothing at all keeps sending him
C7m9 G7 Fmaj7 C Am7 Fmaj7
Somewhere back in her long ago
F7m/G Am7 Am/F# C7m9 G7
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Fmaj7 C Am7 Fmaj7 F7m/G Am7
Someday, somewhere, she will return
[Chorus]
Am7 A7sus4 G7sus4 G
She had a place in his life
Am7 A7sus4 G7sus4 G
He never made her think twice
Dm7 G7 Cmaj7
As he rises to her apology
A7 Dm7 G7 Am7
Anybody else would surely know
Am/F#*
He's watching her go
Fm7 Bb7sus
But what a fool believes he sees
Bb7 Cm7
No wise man has the power to reason away
Fm7 Bb7sus
What seems to be
Bb7 Cm7
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all
(and repeat)
