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
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
D D D C G C
I missed my chance with you
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
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
D D D C G C
"I missed my chance with you"
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
D C
Leave me scattered like leaves by winds that never blew
D C
When I captured the starts
D C
In the palm of my hand it was true
D D D C G C
I'd just give them back to you
G C
I was seventeen, but just for one year
G C
I always knew one day, I'd end up here
G C
And the sands have now fallen to the evening of my afternoon
G C
I'm was always so ready to stay and always leaving too soon
D C
And I don't want to think about it now, but I do
D C
And my spirit is restless
D C
'Cause I know it's true
D D D C
I missed my chance with you
