[Intro]
D Em7 D Em7

[Verse]
D Em
We set by ourselves, still looking for company
D Em
There could have been peace, but that eluded me
F#m G
All I could think of, was what was on your mind
F#m
You tried to be kind,
G Bm F#m
but I blocked your feelings.
Em F#m G F#m
Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room
Em C E
and cry.
A F#m B
You tried
G A F#m B
to make me one,
G A F#m B
but I always hide
G A
when there's
G A G
a glimpse of sun.
D Em
Running along in sunlight meadows
D Em
your eyes were never more than half-closed:
F#m G D
through fluttering lashes, you watched you watching me.
F#m
I tried to be true
G Bm F#m Em
to the way that you thought I ought to be
F#m G Bm F#m
but, in spite of all my efforts,
Em C E
I failed.
A F#m B G A F#m B
I tried to make you see
G A F#m B
but your eyes were blind
G A G A G
to all but the bad in me.

[Bridge]
D A G (x5)
D A G
What do you think I mean
D A G
when I say that I need you?
D A G
How am I supposed to seem
D A G
when we hit another problem and the answers are all torn from my book?
D A G (x4)
D Em
Our lives are on paths we just can't control;
D Em
we can grow closer as we get old....
F#m G
Can you imagine us as we adjust?
