[Verses]
C  G            F       C
It wasn't very long for us
            G              F       
When you're young it isn't hard to 
C
trust
Am               F    G
I told her I was seventeen
She said that's how she still 
F         C     F
remembers me

C G            F        C
I haven't many words to say
  G                 F     C
I thought about you every day
    Am             F    G
And she seems disappointed
                        F     C   
When I say that I'm not happy yet
  F


C                    F         G
And I ask her if she liked the show
                             F   C
She says she heard me on the radio
Continues after the ad
         G                  F     
And only works a few blocks down 
   G
the street
                               F   
She leaves her coat on but she 
    C
takes a seat

[Chorus 1]
C                       (G)   
Was it really that worth writing 
     F
about?
                             G    
They say your record deal is over 
Am
now
C                           (G)  
And did you love me like the way 
    F
you wrote?
            G   F         G    C
Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid 
     F
so

[Verse]
C  G                F     C
She tells me she is happy now
           G                  F   
She really loves him and they have
   C
 a house
          Am               F      
I say I'm glad for her and should 
     G
have known
                         F    C   
I have one too now but I live 
  F
alone

[Chorus 2]
C               (G)          F
Is it really you behind that beard?
                        G         
I say I think so and we count the 
Am
years
C                     (G)      F
We tell stories and we sort of laugh
             G                 
And then she jokes she wants my 
 F        C
autograph

C          (G)                    
And was it really how you sing it 
F
dear?
                         G         
Oh I remember worse than blood and 
Am
tears
C                            (G) 
And did you love me like the way 
    F
you wrote?
         G      F       G      C
Well I'm afraid so, I'm afraid so

C   G                   F      C
She smiles and says she has to go
    G               F    C
I'm left in silence all alone
 Am               F               
'Til they come and say I've gotta 
G
leave
                             F     
They say there's people that I have
   C
 to meet
