[Verse 1]
    Em       A          Em           A
I'd tell you that we've been through this
Bm             G        Bm      G
   I know I've told you that be-fore
    Em     A        Em       A
I'd try to find out where we miss
Bm           G  Bm     G
  It gets to be such a chore

[Chorus]
A                      Am
Ever since that time I told you it's so
G#                          C
Something gets my eye and I don't let go
             Em          A
And then the stories and words
        Em       A
They're here and gone
Bm       G               Bm     G
   Cause that's what you always say

Em A Em A Bm G Bm G

[Verse 2]
Em          A       Em        A
 I'd try to sit and talk with you
        Bm       G            Bm      G
But you know how moods change all the time
    Em     A      Em      A
I'd try to wait a week or two
    Bm          G        Bm         G
But by then I'd probably changed my mind

[Chorus]
       A                      Am
'Cause ever since that time I told you it's so
G#                          C
Something gets my eye and I don't let go
             Em          A
And then the stories and words
        Em       A
They're here and gone
Bm      G               Bm     G
  Cause that's what you always say

[Verse 3]
    Em         A       Em        A
I - I'd try to sit and talk with you
        Bm       G            Bm      G
But you know how moods change all the time
    Em     A      Em      A
I'd try to wait a week or two
    Bm          G        Bm         G
But by then I'd probably changed my mind

[Chorus]
       A                      Am
'Cause ever since that time I told you it's so
G#                          C
Something gets my eye and I don't let go
             Em          A
And then the stories and words
Em                     A
Yeah, they're here and gone
Bm      G               Bm     G
  Cause that's what you always say
