[G] [D]
[A]
[Bm] [D] [A]
[Bm] [D] [A]
Thinking [G] back [D] now, [A] I suppose [Bm] you [D] were just stating your views.
What was it all for?
[A] For [B] the weather [D] or the battle of Agincourt?
[A] And the [G] times that we all [C#] hoped would last, like a [F#] train they have [C#m] gone by [Bm] so fast.
And though we stood together [D] at the edge of the [A] platform, we were [B] not moved [D] by then.

[Bm] [D] [A]
[Bm] [D] [A]
[Bm] [D] [A]
With [G] my own [D] hands, [A] when [G] I make [D] love to your memory, [A] it's not the [G]
[D] same.
[A] I miss [G] the thunder, [D] I miss the rain, and [G] the fact that you don't [C#m] understand.
Cast a shadow over [Bm] this [D] land, but the sun [A] still shines from [D] behind it.
[A]
[G] [D] [A] [Bm]
[D] [A]
[G] [D] [A]
Thanks all [B] [D] aside, but I just [Bm] can't bring myself [D] to answer your letters.
[A] It's [D] not your fault, [A] but [Bm] your honesty [D] touches me like a fire.
[A] The [G]
Polaroids that hold [C#] us together [F#m] will surely fade [Bm] away.
[D] Like the love that we spoke of [A] forever, [G] since [D] Swithin's died.
