[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][Bm][A][D][A][Bm]

[Verse 1]
Once I had a [A]memory
of a [G]girl that I thought I [D]knew[F#]
Once I had a [Bm]handle on the world,
some[E]how I lost that [A]too
Yes, and [G]once I knew this lady,
[D]she was a joy[G] for the boy to see
[D]But now
I'm [G]sorry to say that the [D]lady's [A]gone [Bm]away an
[Bb]d it's rea[A]lly been bothering me[D]
Because we [G]all just keep on drip[D]pin' a
little bit [G]further and further apart
[D]And if the [G]truth be known I got a [D]funny [A]feelin'
[Bm]goin' bout to [A]wear a tear on my [D]heart[A]
[Bm]It occurs to me you ca[A]n't go wrong
when there [G]isn't anywhere to [D]go
[F#]So people, if you he[Bm]ar my song,
don't you [E]hesitate to let me [A]know
I'm not [G]sure what
I'm trying to [D]tell you, but that
I'm [G]trying must be plain to [D]see
It's just a [G]day -to -day strife trying to [D]get through [A]life,
[Bm]and that's reall[A]y been bothering me[D]
Because we [G]all just keep on getting [D]a
little bit [G]further and further [D]apart
And if the [G]truth be known,
I got a [D]funny [A]feelin' [Bm]goin'
[Bb]Love you [A]with a tear on my [D]heart[G]
[D][G][D][G][D][A][Bm][A][D][A]
[Bm]I never ever wrote a[A] book,
but I can [G]read a situation pretty [D]well
[F#]Eye s and ears can und[Bm]erstand
far [E]more than the tongue can [A]tell
But there's a [G]wind blowin'
over the [D]hilltop
And there's a [G]tide rollin' into the [D]bay
And it's a [G]life too short
and [D]love's too [A]sweet
[Bm]To l[Bb]et a si[A]ngle moment slip away
[D]But we all[G] just keep on dri[D]ftin'
A little bit fur[G]ther, further apart
[D]And if [G]the truth be known,
I got a [D]funny [A]feelin'
[Bm]Goin' by, be[A]ware a tear on my heart
[D]I said we all[G] just keep on dri[D]ftin'
A little bit [G]further and further apart
[D]And if the [G]truth be known,
I got a [D]funny feelin'
[E]Goin' [Bb]by, be[A]ware a tear on my heart
[D]I said we all[G] just keep on dri[D]ftin'
A little bit [G]further and further [D]apart
And if [G]the truth be known,
I got a funny feeling going on...
