VERSE:
I find it hard, hard to let go
And you are entitled to know
You have brought nothing else but bliss,
A great deal of frustration, a voluntary occupation,
Driving me insane and off the wall
VERSE:
And we were free to choose each other
But now it seems like something other
Have you placed me where I stand?
Turned caring like a mother, afraid to lose each other
It got us this far, now problems are:
REFRAIN:
I have no bags to pack, no suitcase waiting in the hall
You have no make-up, no stocki - ings in my drawer
Oh-oh, how did we forge - et? How could we forget?
It's easy to lear - earn if you never regret
(INTERLUDE)
VERSE:
When you live in paranoia
And you know she's got you, oh yeah
You can't leave until you know the truth
So for months you're going nowhere until you seize the day
And place yourself behind the steering wheel
VERSE:
Or you can't end like you don't want to,
The opposite of what you planned to
You can watch the ships when they're abroad
Become a joke when people see you, 'cause it's enough to please you
You got this far, step put of the car
(repeat CHORUS)
(repeat INTERLUDE)
Bass figure:
We'll never learn in the future,
This is it, seemingly, I am sure
I know we haven't been together now
VERSE:
It wasn't meant to be this way so
We'll give it days and days and
We'll try to make it easy now
Once I believed we could approach this,
Now I have faith placed in the things you call fa - ate
In the things you call fa - ate
In the things you call fate
(play out over Guitar Figure 2; repeat until fade)
