Here, and laugh about our funny little ways.

And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed,

I think I've come to see myself at last.
      C   Bm       Am             G
And I see that the time spent con-fused,
        C    Bm     Am            G
Was the time that I spent without you.
      C    Bm Am   Am7 D7    Am7  D7  Am7  D7
And I feel my-self im -prove.
