He [Ab] came from [Gb] somewhere [Fm] back in her long [Db] ago
[Ebm] [Gb] The [Bbm] sadder, better fool, [A] though [Cm] she [Ab] tried hard to recreate
[Db] What had yet to be created
[Gb] [Bbm] Once in her [Ab] life, [A] she musters [Ab] a [Gb] smile
[Fm] For his nostalgic [Db] tear
[Ebm] [Bbm] Never coming near [A] what he [Cm] wanted to [Ab] say

She had a place in [Ab] his [Db] life

The butterfool [Gbm] believes
[A] He [E] [A] sees
[Dbm] To [E]
