E
Once in a while
E
I would like to see you smile
F#m
But your number’s hard to dial
E
At the end of my free trial
E
Though now I’ve learned what it takes
E
To step right up to the plate
F#m
A feeling previously innate
E
Now leaves me feeling less than great
B7
E Amaj7
When they ask you if you miss her
F# F#m
Have you already thought of an adequate answer?
E Amaj7
Say, “we were like a sticker
F# F#m E
Permanent only for some patch of time”
Amaj7 F#
Patch of time, you were once mine
F#m E
You were once, mine
Amaj7 F#
Patch of time, you were once mine
F#m
You were once
E
It was the year that I lost my friend
E
I knew I’d never be the same again
F#m
I know it now and I knew it then
E
There is only so much you can pretend
E
I guess with that in mind
E
You put all of your time in
F#m
Before depression would win
E
And you could no longer pretend
E Amaj7
When they ask you if you miss her
F# F#m
Have you already thought of an adequate answer?
E Amaj7
Say, “we were like a sticker
F# F#m E
Permanent only for some patch of time”
Amaj7 F#
Patch of time, you were once mine
F#m E
You were once, mine
Amaj7 F#
Patch of time, you were once mine
F#m
You were once
