The Past And The Present

  A                              
Maybe he was wrong, but then she 
C#m                              
fooled him all along, he was the 
Bm            D   E
best she had
     A                             
"Get even right away," that was her
 C#m                           Bm 
 mantra for the day, he wasn't 
           D   E
good or bad
    A                              
She asked me for a dance, and "yes,
     C#m                           
 I'd love to, but I can't" was what
   Bm          D  E
 I meant to say
    A                           
Before the words came out, I was 
    C#m                            
already at her house, I guess I'll 
 Bm            D  E
have to stay

[Chorus]
A                   C#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
        Bm                      F#m
I can't believe it has been so long
A                      C#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
             Bm                 A
It's just as well these days are 
gone

[Instrumental]
A C#m Bm D E

[Verse]
A                                 
He would never know, and though I 
C#m                               
would, she swears he won't, it was
   Bm            D  E
 a small mistake

    A                              
You really can't blame me, but I'm 
C#m                               
fairly sure that he has something 
Bm          D  E
else to say
   A                             
He promises revenge, I should've 
C#m                               
tried to make amends, and we 
  Bm           D  E
should end this here
      A                           
Well, I'd apologize, but it's too 
C#m                         
late, and I know why, this is 
       Bm           D  E
goodbye, my dear

[Chorus]
A                       C#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
           Bm                 F#m
I can't believe it has been so long
A                      C#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
             Bm                 A
It's just as well these days are 
gone

[Bridge]
Bm                A     D       
Every day now she finds memories
          E
 when she shuts her eyes
Bm                    A          
Since it hurts her to sleep, she 
D                                  
stays up all night long forgetting 
E
memories with me
  A                                
I tried to cut and run, that little
 C#m                               
 girl's just so much fun, God help 
    Bm           D  E
me if it's love
     A                          
It's nothing of the sort, she'll 
          C#m                      
roll the bass player just for 
               Bm            D  E
sport, let's sweep under the rug

[Verse]
A                       C#m
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
           Bm                  F#m
I can't believe it has been so long
A                      C#m
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
             Bm                 
It's just as well these days are 
 A
gone
 N.C
Leave it, why don't you leave it?
 N.C
I can't believe it has been so long
N.C
Tell me, why won't you tell me?
N.C                              A
It's just as well these days are 
gone
