but it's much too strong to let it go now.

Am - Em

We meet every day at the same café,

holding hands, making all kinds of plans

while the juke box plays our favorite songs.

Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, we got a thing goin' on,

F G C - E

but it's much too strong to let it go now.

Am Em

We gotta be extra careful

Dm G C - E

that we don't build our hopes up too high,

Am Em

‘cause she's got her own obligations,

D G

and so, and so, do I.

Well, it's time for us to be leaving,

Dm G C - E

it hurts so much, it hurts so much inside.

Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine

but tomorrow we'll meet, the same place, the same time.
