Capo on 6th
C F Dm G
1. Long ago in someone else's lifetime,
C Am F C Dm - G
someone with my name who looked a lot like me,
C F G
came to know a man and made a promise,
C Am D D7 G
he only had to say, and that's where she would be.
G7 C C7 F
Lately although the feelings run just as deep,
Em Am D C
the promise she made has grown impossible to keep, and yet,
F C F G C - F - Dm - G
I wish it wasn't so, will he miss me if I go?
C F Dm G
2. In a way it's someone else's sto..ry,
C Am F C Dm - G
I don't see myself as taking part at all.
C F G
Yesterday a girl that I was fond of,
C Am D D7 G
finally could see the writing on the wall.
G7 C C7 F
Sadly she realized she'd left him behind,
Em Am D C
and sadder than that she knew he wouldn't even mind, and though,
F C F G C
there's nothing left to say, would he listen if I stay?
G# Fm - - - - - - F G
It's all very well to say you fool it's now or never,
Em B7 Dm G G7 - A7
I could be choosing, no choices whatsoever.
D G Em A
3. I could be in someone else's sto..ry,
D Bm G D Em - A
in someone else's life and he could be in mine.
D G Em A
I don't see a reason to be lonely,
D Bm E E7 A
I could take my chances further down the line.
A7 D D7 G
And if that girl I knew should ask my advice,
F#m Bm E D
oh, I wouldn't hesitate, she needn't ask me twice, go now !
G D G A D - Bm
I'd tell her that for free, trouble is, the girl is me.
Em A A7 D
The story is, the girl is me.
