She was reading a book that she'd

already read,
Eb               Bb
Just to pass the time.
        Cm            Bb          
He just sat there and stared at 
  Eb/G  Ab
the TV    set,
Eb                 Bb
Like he was barely alive.
Fm             Eb/G
When the local news was over,
Ab                   Bb
They would climb the stairs.
Fm                Eb/G
Crawl in bed underneath the covers,
Ab                   Bbsus  Bb
Like neither one was there.



          Ab    Bb   Eb   Ab    
And its a long, long way across 
    Bb      Eb
the great divide.

The songs that they once sang,
    Ab           Bb
Now echo far and wide.
           Ab    Bb  Eb           
They could still get back all the 
Ab        Bb        Eb
love that they have lost.
    Ab   Bb      Cm           
But only if they both will reach

He was up in the attic on the 
Eb/G     Ab
4th of July,
Eb                         Bb
As they flew a flag in the yard.
        Cm             Bb         
When he found some old roses she 
   Eb/G     Ab
had long ago dried,
Eb                   Bb
Before they drifted apart.
Fm                    Eb/G
And how the years had slipped right 
by them,
Ab             Bb
He didn't understand.
Fm                   Eb/G
He carried a petal into the kitchen,
Ab                      Bbsus  Bb
And he placed it in her hand.
