Verse 1

G C Passed through main street yesterday G C And, oh, this town just ain't the same G C Looked in the window and it was gone G C All those tables I'd written on

Chorus

D C We're vanished as if I had never been there D C Like the poets and prophets who can't find the words so they stare D C And all that made sense has somehow turned askew Em D C G C G C I missed my chance with you

Verse 2

G C There were seconds then minutes then years that I could not breathe G C In the Pere Lachaise with the hammer the chisel and the stone G C Now I've bartered and begged for what I believed G C And I saw that the name engraved was my own

Chorus

D C Now there's nothing so peaceful as when I met you D C And there's nothing so lonely as when it was through D C And the words, "I'm not here anymore", echo into Em D C G C G C "I missed my chance with you"

Verse 3

G C Had love play so many tricks on me G C I've always felt cheated that you'd make me leave G C Like taking my sight after letting me see G C But I found out love had something up it's sleeve

Chorus

D C Leave me scattered like leaves by winds that never blew D When I captured the starts C In the palm of my hand it was true Em D C G C G C I'd just give them back to you

Verse 4

G C I was seventeen, but just for one year G C I always knew one day, I'd end up here D C And the sands have now fallen to the evening of my afternoon D C I'm was always so ready to stay and always leaving too soon

Chorus

D C And I don't want to think about it now, but I do D And my spirit is restless C 'Cause I know it's true Em D C G C G C I missed my chance with you
