D E
It feels like a long time ago
A
When you were a child
D
And now it's forgotten
E
Looks like someone I used to know
A D
Seems like the memories are forgotten
E
I still hear you laughing
A D
When nothing was serious and we were fearless
E
We were nearest then
Bm Bm7
[Chorus]
Bm7 D
I was wrapped up like a spindle
A
I gathered up my pride
E
And still I can't say the words
Bm7
Still I can't say goodbye
D (Let Ring)
I was wrapped up like a spindle
[Verse 2]
D E
We don't talk, no
A D
Wе don't talk much anymore
E
But I've been around though
E D
So how you been, how does it go?
E
I guеss it's the way it works
A D
Yeah, I guess it's the way it's supposed to go
E
But this ain't a game now
Bm Bm7
[Chorus]
Bm7 D
You got me wrapped up like a spindle
A
I gathered up my pride
E
And still I can't say the words
Bm7
Still I can't say goodbye
D
I was wrapped up like a spindle
A
I gathered up my pride
E
But still I can't say the words
Bm7 D A E
Still I can't say goodbye
E
Still I can't say the words
Bm7
Still I can't say goodbye
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
(Soft Strum)
D E
You got your mother's Irish eyes
A D
And your father's patience
E
And you stand in a disguise
A D
Like a face that nobody knows
E
A place that's been forgotten
A D
As the fear creeps into your soul
E (Let Ring)
As you run with your hands in your pockets
From someone you used to know
Bm Bm7
[Chorus]
Bm7 D
You were wrapped up like a spindle
A
You gathered up your pride
D
Still you can't say the words
Bm7
Still you can't say goodbye
D
You were wrapped up like a spindle
A
You gathered up your pride
E
And still you can't say the words
Bm7
Still you can't say goodbye
