Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Tim[Bm]e was[A] o[D]nce[G]
just [D]a clock to me
And life was just a [G]book a biography
[A]Succes[D]s was som[G]ething
you just [D]had to be
And I would spend my[G]self unknowingly
[A]

[Verse 2]
And you [G]know that I could [A]have
me a mil[D]lion more friends
And all [G]I'd have to lose
is my point [A]of view
But I [D]had no idea what a
good [G]time would cost
'Til last [A]night when I [G]sat
and [A]talked with [D]you

[Verse 3]
[D][Bm]
[D]An apple will [G]spoil if it's [D]been abused
A candle disap[G]pears
when its been [A]used
[D]A rainbow may [G]fol
low up [D]a hurricane
And I can't leave [G]forever on a train
[A]

[Verse 4]
And you [G]know that I'd sur
[A]vive if I [D]never spoke again
And [G]all I'd have to lose is my vanity
[A]But I had[D] no idea what a
good [G]time would cost
'Til last [A]night when you sat and talked [D]with me

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][G][D]
[G][A][D][G]
[D][G][A][G][A]
[D][G][A][D]
[G][A][D]
You can [A]smile

[Verse 5]
[D]for the lac[G]k
of something [D]else to do
And no one will [G]laugh and
point a finger at [A]you
If your [D]tears didn't [G]al ways
make me [D]feel so bad
Would you still cry every
[G]time that you felt [A]sad?
I [G]thought I'd heard and seen
[A]eno[D]ugh to get along
'Til [G]you said something
neither of us [A]knew
And I [D]had no idea what a
good [G]time would cost
'Til last [A]night when I sat
and talked with you
[D][G][D]
