Em            G

Way, way down the line

D                             C

When we're both grey and old

Em                  D                  Em

I beg of you, open up my letters

Em                             G

Tell me stories 'bout drinking wine

How he took you out for dinner

C
How you danced all night

Em                        D

Tell me that you found someone better

[Chorus]

As I want you to try

C                           Em

As I want you to fly

I ain't saying you should be

Em
alone for the rest of your life but

D
You rip his heart out
