B D#
I first met you in 1982
C# E D# E D# B
You were drunk and I was underage
D#
So now here you are still hanging on the bar
C# E D# E D# B
And I'm still staring at you from the stage
[PD CHORUS]
G# B
And I can't be mad at you for coming here with someone else
G# C# E
And I don't want to laugh at you, but somehow I can't help myself
[Verse 2]
B D#
'Cause there was a time when you looked me in the eye
C# E D# E D# B
But now you only look me in the nose
D#
And you were at your best with whiskey on your dress
C# E D# E D# B
It stained a bit, but it was only clothes
[PD CHORUS]
G# B
And I won't buy a drink for you, but that won't mean we're enemies
G# C# E
And though I often think of you, they're not all pleasant memories
[Chorus]
B D#
Cause time won't heal the hurt - it drags you in the dirt
E F#
And patience is a virtue that only seems to hurt you
B D#
And someone may be waiting for you when the night is done
C# E D# E D# B
Yes, someone may be waiting here... but I won't be the one
[Verse 3]
B D#
So I sit here by myself with a yearbook on my shelf
C# E D# E D# B
A document of all I meant to you
D#
Well, you misspelled my name, wrote "Please don't ever change!
C# E D# E D# B
Stay in touch! Good luck in all you do!"
[PD CHORUS]
G# B
I know it shouldn't matter much, but nothing else remains of you
G# C# E
I know I should have had a hunch that you took something with you, too
[Verse 4]
B D#
'Cause there was a time when the words all seemed to rhyme
C# E D# E D# B
And they never seemed to tangle with the tune
B D#
But I'm sick and tired of feeling uninspired
C# E D# E D# B
And you can't get out of my life too soon
[PD CHORUS]
G# B
And I won't buy a drink for you, but that won't mean we're enemies
G# C# E
And though I often think of you, they're not all pleasant memories
[Chorus]
B D#
Cause time won't heal the hurt - it drags you in the dirt
E F#
And patience is a virtue that only seems to hurt you
B D#
And someone may be waiting for you when the night is done
C# E D# E D# B
Yes, someone may be waiting here... but I won't be the one
[Outro]
B, G# X 4
