Sorry I'm so late

I've been out walking

What I think you already know

Cause darling I still love you

But things aren't like they used to be

It's time for letting go

I wasn't out there looking

But a month ago last sunday

I met someone just like you

The truth is she can give me

What you can't anymore

Looking back when we first started

I never thought I'd see this day

If only I could write the pages

Our story wouldn't end this way
D
I feel so much better
G
Knowing we could have this moment

But it looks like it may rain soon
A
And it's gettin' kind of late

I'll always bring your roses

Each time I come to visit
D
The caretaker's waving
A D
He wants to close the gates
(chorus)
G
Oh, lookin' back when we first started
D
I never thought I'd see this day
G
If only I could write the pages
A
Our story wouldn't end this way
G / D
G
If only I could write the pages
A D / G / D
Our story wouldn't end this way
