[Bm] [D] [A]
Thinking [B] back [D] now, [A] I suppose [Bm] you [D] were just stating your views.
What was it all for?
[A] For [Bm] 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 gone by so [Bm] fast
And though we stood [D] together at the edge of the [A] platform
We were [B] not moved [D] by their
[A]
[Bm] With [D] [A]

[Bm] [D] [A]
[G] my own [D] hands
[A] When I [G] make [D] love to your memory
[A] It's not [G] the [D] same
I [A] miss [Bm] the thunder, [D] I miss the rain
[G] And the fact that you don't [F#] understand
Cast a shadow over [Bm] this [D] land
But the sun still [A] shines from [D] behind it
[A] Thanks [G] [D] [A]
[D] [A]
[G] [D] [A]
all [B] the
[D] same
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] [G] The Polaroids that hold us [C#] together
[F#m] Will surely fade [Bm] away
[D] Like the love that we spoke of forever
[A] [G] On St.
