D              F#m/D  D       F#m/D
Well I've been gone away for so long 
    D                       A
And I let our love slip her mind
       A
When I could have bought paper for a hundred love letters 
        A                      D 
For the price of a thin silver dime

D           F#m/D              D        F#m/D
It seems so small, almost like nothin' at all 
    D                     G
But it had it's moment in time
  A 
I let her slip away, I could have called her today 
        A                      D
For the price of a thin silver dime

[Chorus]
   G                 A                D
If I could stop this whole world from turning
   G       A               D  
If I could just go back in time
    G               A              D 
I'd let her know my love was still burning
    D                             D
And once more I'd try to make her mine

D          F#m/D    D            F#m/D
If I had a million, I'd spend it all 
   D                          G
To buy back her love one more time
       A
But it hurts me to know I let her go 
        A                      D
For the price of a thin silver dime

[Chorus]
D          F#m/D    D            F#m/D
If I had a million, I'd spend it all 
   D                          G
To buy back her love one more time
       A
But it hurts me to know I let her go 
        A                      D
For the price of a thin silver dime

        A
Yes, it hurts me to know I let her go 
    A                      G   A D
For pride of a thin silver dime
