D A G
In the hope I'll forget I'll wait
D A G
It's a chance I'll take oh yeah
D A G
In the hope I'll forget I'll wait
D A G
For the time
D A G
In the spring I'll watch my step
D A G
While the night-time passes by
D A G
When a smile suits me all alone
D A G
I'll be fine
(G) A
There's got to be a better song to sing
G
Before I hang upon your shoulder
G A
Telling the truth it may be bolder this time
D A
There's got to be a better song to sing
G
That makes a lonely one less cold oh
G A
Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry
D A G G(4 times)

Watching friends playing in the dirt
D A G
Feeling hard but feeling hurt
D A G
By the sadness that wastes my time
D A G
It's a crime
D A G
Counting acts which I must add
D A G
To collect sad memories
D A G
From a past I'd soon forget
D A G
Swap or leave
(G) A
There's got to be a better song to sing
G
Before I hang upon your shoulder
G A
Telling the truth it may be bolder this time
D A
There's got to be a better song to sing
G
That makes a lonely one less cold oh
G A
Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry
D A G
At the gate I'll wave goodbye
D A G
To the friends that were my lies
D A G
And I'll see them off at dawn
D A G
Feeling wise
D A G
Feeling wise
D A G
Feeling wise
D A G
