Intro D G A G A
[Verso 1]D D/F#
Night before she's leaving,
G D
there's suddenly a change
Bm F#m
She slowly sits beside me and
Em7 A
she softly calls my name
D D/F#
And gives me an address
G Em
and she says, "Come visit soon"
G F#m
And yesterday she wouldn't notice
Em7 A
that I was in the room
[Verso 2]D D/F#
I guess she stayed awake 'cause it's so
G D
hard for her to say
G F#m
We both had built our hopes up,
Em7 A
but the love just slipped away
D D/F#
She's worried I might try to burden
G D
her with all the blame
G D
For breaking up my heart as if she'd
G A
planned it from the start
G D Em7 A7
Just 'cause that's the way some people do
[Refrão]A G Em7 A
Oh, but I have been on her side of it too
D D/F# F#m7
So I said, "Don't feel ashamed,
Em7 A
don't feel guilty for the pain
G F#m7
Sometimes you build your hopes
Em7 A
up and they fall back down again"
D D/F# Bm
The time we had was magic
Em G
and the love was not in vain
G A D
And falling down's as common as the rain
[Ponte]D D/F# G
And something about me leaves you cold
Em
But something even you don't know
Bm F#m
And don't think that it's wrong to go,
Em7 A
'cause of what we had before
D D/F#
Just leave me with those magic times,
G
I'd rather keep you on my mind
Bm F#m7
Then see you try to fake the feelings,
Em7 A
trying not to be unkind
[Refrão] D F#m7
Oh now don't feel ashamed,
Em7
don't feel guilty for the pain
G F#m7
Sometimes you build your hopes
Em7 A
up and they fall back down again"
D D/F# Bm
The time we had was magic
Em G
and the love was not in vain
G A D
And falling down's as common as the rain
Outro
G
The only thing for certain is
Em F#m G
that nothing stays the same
G Em D
And falling down's as common as the rain
D Em A D G D
as the rain
