C E
When I wrote you that letter
Am G
You'd already made up your mind
C Am F#
All my words were writ in vain
C E
When I called you up that day
Am G C Am F#
I was only calling up to say hello
C E Am G
But goodbye
C Am F#
Was the words that you'd been thinking 'bout for days
C E
Didn't know that you were going to leave me
Am G
Wish I knew the way to make you come home
Am F#
What can I do if this is right for you
Am C G D
I have not been perfect for you
Am C G D
Know I think I was back at the start
Am C G D
You have no more patience for me
Am C G D
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
C E
All those times I wasn't there
Am G
The times you thought I didn't care
C Am F#
I hope you can believe I thought of you
C E
Cause you were everything I needed
Am G
I've been selfish and so self absorbed
E Am F#
I thought that you'd be waiting when I reached the other side
C E Am G
Last night I put my arms around another woman's waist
C Am F#
The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced
C E
Great love can bring greater pain
Am G
I hope I fall in love again
E Am F#
What can I do if this is right for you
Am C G D
I have not been perfect for you
Am C G D
I like to think I was back at the start
Am C G D
You have no more patience for me
Am C G D F#
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
(Lots of ladada with refrain chords)
E Am
I want the best for you
C F# C
and now I realize that isn't me
Am C
I haven't been the man you need
F# E
I wish I'd been able to be
E Am C F# E
I'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired
E C Am F#
And that I made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired
Am C G D
I have not been perfect for you
Am C G D
I wish we could go back and just restart
Am C G D
You have no more patience for me
Am C G D
So now I guess we'll both just drift apart
Drift apart
(lots of ladada to the refrain chords)
