Intro: Ab Bbm Fm Bbm

                Ab                 Bbm
He came from somewhere back in her long ago.
Fm                     Bbm
      The sentimental fool don't see
        Ab                        Bbm
Tryin' hard to recreate  what had yet to be created
Fm               Bbm                 Ab
    once in her life  she musters a smile
           Bbm           Fm                  Bbm                   Ab
For his nostalgic tale        Never coming near what he wanted to say
            Bbm    Fm                  Bbm
Only to realize        It never really was...

Bbm                     Ab
She had a place in his life
Bbm                Ab
He never made her think twice
        Bbm (hold)
As she rises to her apology
         Ab)           Bbm
Anybody else would surely know
                  Ab
He's watching her go

                  Gb             B
But what a fool believes     he sees
                    E                    Dbm
No wise man has the power       to reason away
      Gbm         B
What seems      to be
                         E
Is always better than nothing
               Dbm
And nothing at all keeps sending him...

Ab                     Bbm
Somewhere back in her long ago

Fm                       Bbm                           Ab
    Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
          Bbm      Fm              Bbm
Someday, somewhere,      she will return...

Bbm                     Ab
She had a place in his life
Bbm                      Ab
He never made her think twice
         Bbm (hold)
As she rises to her apology
         Ab (hold)          Bbm
Anybody else would surely know
                  Ab
He's watching her go

                  Gb             B
But what a fool believes     he sees
                    E                    Dbm
No wise man has the power       to reason away
      Gbm         B
What seems      to be
                         E
Is always better than nothing
               Dbm
And nothing at all
