[Verse 1]
[G]I am a simple man
And I [Bm]sing a simple song
[Em]Never been so much[G] in love
[C]I never hurt so bad
At the [G]same time

[Verse 2]
I [G]am a simple man
And I [Bm]play a simple tune
[Em]Wish I could see y[G]ou
Once [C]again across me
Like the [G]first time

[Verse 3]
[C]Just wanna hold you
Don't want to hold [G]you down
[C]Hear what you're saying
And you're spinning my head [G]around
I can [D]make it [C]I k[G]now

[Verse 4]
The ending of the tale
Is the [Bm]singing of this song
[Em]Make me proud to be your man
Only [C]you can make me strong
Like the [G]last time

[Verse 6]
I took my chances on [G]a
one- way [C]ticket [G]home
[F]Growing tir[Dm]ed of strangers and the
[Fm]kind of life [Fdim]I want[Fm]
For the [C]time for settling
[Em]down has come at [G]last
Yes I [C]hope to find a fu[Em]ture
in my [Gsus4]pas t[G][C]

[Verse 7]
Walk with me darling [Em]Where the
wheat fields used to be
[Dm]And I will tell you stories of my
[Fm]time across the sea
You're the [C]legendary [Em]girl
I left be[G]hind
Can't be[C]gin to count [Em]the times
you crossed my [G]mind[Gsus4][G][A]

[Verse 8]
Though your children [F#m]The
youngest looks just like you
She's [Dm]the picture of her mother
But there'll [Fm]never be another
quite like [C]you[Em]

[Verse 9]
You're the an[Dm]gel and the t[G]ime
I don't [C]know any[Em]more
[Dm]so goodnight[G]
I'll take my [C]memories
[Em]to bed and [Dm]know
That I'll be [G]waking up alone

[C]I should have noticed
That the [Em]years were slipping by
[Dm]Still you're just as loving
As the [Fm]day we said goodbye
Like an [C]old familiar [Em]poem
That still won't [G]rhyme
I could [C]get back to the place
[Em]But not the time[Dm][G]

[Verse 11]
[C]You're [Em]the angel a[Dm]nd the time[G]
