    Am - G - F - C      - Dm - C - F - E

 

    Am - G - F    - G-Am - G - F

 

   G   Am                                 F

1.   There was a time when broken hearts

             Dm                           E

    and broken dreams were over.

       Am                                 F

    There was a place where all you could do was

     Dm                          E

    wish on a four leaf clover.

 

            Am                          F

2. But now is a new time, there is a new place

                 Dm                                E

    where dreams just can't come true,

        Dm                           E

    it started the day when I left you.

 

Am                               G                                      F

    I could never love again the way that I loved you.

G-Am                              G                              F

        I could never cry again like I did when I left you.

            G                        Am                                  F

And when we said goodbye, oh, the look in your eyes

                        G                                      E

just left me beside myself without your heart.

F                                  Dm   G                        F    - G

    I could never love again now that we're apart.

 

        Am                    F

3. When I was sorry, it was too late to

    Dm                     E

    turn around and tell you so.

       Am                              F

    There was no reason, there was no reason,

     Dm                                   E

    just a foolish beat of my heart.

 

+  CHORUS

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            Am

+  Oh, can't you see I'm not fooling nobody,

      G

    don't you see the tears are falling

      F                                                E

    down my face since you went away ?

       Am                                                G

    Break my heart, you slipped away, didn't know I was wrong,

      F                                                        E

    never meant to hurt you, now you're gone !

 

+  Am - G - F      - G-Am - G - F        - G-Am - F - G - E

 

     F                                  Dm   G                        F    - G

+       I could never love again now that we're apart,

       F     G      F    G Am

    (now that we're apart)

                                     F      G                        F - G     - A

    I could never love again now that we're apa......rt.
