[G] Thinking back now, [F] [C]
I suppose [G] you were [F]
just stating your [G] views.
What was it all [G] for?
[C]
For [Fm] the weather, or the Battle of Agincourt,
And [F] the times that we all hoped [C] would [G] last.
[Am] Like a train, they have gone by [Dm] so fast,
[C] And though we stood together [Am] at the edge of [Cm] the platform,
We were [Bb] not moved [F] by them.
[C] [Bb]
[F]
[C]
With [G] my own hands,
[C] When I [G] make love [F] to your memory,
[C] It's not [G] the [F] same.
[C] I miss [G] the thunder, [F] I miss the rain,
[C] And the [Bb] fact that you [C] don't [B] [F] understand
Casts a shadow over [Dm]
this land.
The sun [F] [C]
still shines from [F]
behind it.
[C] [Dm]
[F]
[C]
[Am] It's [C] not your [F]
fault,
But [C]
I just [F] can't bring myself to answer your [Cm] letters.
Thanks all [G] the [F] same,
[C]
But [G] your honesty touches me like a fire.
[C]
The [G] Polaroids that hold us [C] together
[F]
Will [Am] surely fade [D] away,
[Dm]
Like the laugh that [F] we spoke [C] of forever
[Bb] On St.
[F] Swithin's Day.
