G Em
She said to face up to the fact that you weren’t coming back
A C

G B7
But I’m sorry to say I turned her away
C Ab Maj7
Knowing everything she said was true
G Em C G D
And that’s the price I pay for loving you the way that I do

G Em
Not a day goes by that I don’t sit and wonder why
A C
Your feelings for me didn’t last forever
G B7

A C
I’d walk a mile with a stone in my shoe …
