[Intro 1]
[F][Am][F][Dm][C]
[F][Am][F][Dm][Am][Dm]
[C][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]watched her [F]smile
Dissolve like Alka [Dm]Seltzer
And in all honesty
[C]Man, I wish I [F]could have helped [Am]her
But the words I [F]spoke
Fell leaden to the [Dm]ground
Hitting that [C]carpet
With a muffled [F]clanging [Dm]sound

[Verse 2]
I remember sitting [Dm]later on [A]the 253
Trying not to cry
But the crime's on me
Sick to my stomach
Feel so [Am]guilty
But I can't change the fact that
She had nothing that I [F]needed
So over years the love re[Dm]ceded
A bit like her old man's [C]hairline
[F].. And mine

[Verse 3]
And at [Am]first,
She was all that I could [F]see
'Til other girls appeared in my periphery
[Dm]And we lost something,
Or so it seem[C]s
Fading [F]like her favorite [Dm]jeans
[Am][Dm][C][Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
I can't read her [F]face
Listen in an unknown language
[Dm]I just hold her pretty hand[C]
'Cause that's about all I [F]can manage
[Am]I wish you wouldn't look
at me that [F]way
Knowing I'm a selfish [Dm]bastard

[Verse 5]
She'll be thanking [Dm]me one day
And [C]maybe we can even [F]laugh at this after

[Verse 6]
[Dm]I remember sitting
later on [A]the 253
Trying not to cry
But the crimes on me
Sick to my stomach
Feel so [Am]guilty
But I can't change the fact that
She had nothing that I [F]needed
So over years the love re[Dm]ceded
A bit like her old man's [C]hairline
[F].. And mine

[Verse 7]
And at [Am]first,
She was all that I could [F]see
'Til other girls appeared
in my [Dm]periphery
And we lost something,
Or so it seem[C]s
Fading [F]like her favorite jeans

[Verse 8]
[Am]No, no, no, no p[F]romises
No, [Dm]no, [Am]no, n[Dm]o promises
No, no, no, no promises
[Am]No p[C]romises
[F]No promises
[B]And this is the final

[Verse 9]
[A]cur[D]tain cal[Dm]l[E][Bm]
As in an[A]d out of love w[Dm]e fal[D]l[E][B]
And it's toO [A]late to [D]change [Dm]that[E][B]
Oh, it's too late [A]to ex[D]plain
That..
[E]

[Verse 10]
[Am]
She had nothing that I [F]needed
So over years the love re[Dm]ceded
A bit like her old man's [C]hairline
.. And mine

[Verse 11]
And at [Am]first,
She was all that I could [F]see
'Til other girls appeared in my [Dm]periphery
And we lost something,
Or so it [C]seems
Fading [F]like her favorite [Am]jeans

[Verse 12]
She had [Am]nothing that I [F]needed
So over years the love re[Dm]ceded
A bit like her old man's [Em]hairline
[C].. [F]And mine

[Verse 13]
And at [Am]first,
She was all that I could [F]see
'Til other girls appeared in my periphery
[Dm]And we lost something,
Or so it seem[Em]s[C]
Fad[Em]ing l[F]ike her favorite jeans

[Verse 14]
[Am]No, no, no, no p[F]romises
No, no, no, no [Dm]promises
No, no, no, no promises
[C]No pro[F]mises
[Am]No promises
