[G] Passed through main street[C] yesterday
[G] And, oh, this town just ai[C]n't the same
[G] Looked in the window and i[C]t was gone
[G] All those tables I'd writt[C]en on

[D]We're vanished as if I had never been ther[C]e
[D]Like the poets and prophets who can't find the words so they star[C]e
[D]And all that made sense has somehow turned askew[C]
I mi[D]ssed my c[D]hance wit[D]h you[C][G][C]

[G] There were seconds then minutes then years that I could not [C]breathe
[G] In the Pere Lachaise with the hammer the chisel and the ston[C]e
[G] Now I've bartered and begged for what I b[C]elieved
[G] And I saw that the name engraved was my[C] own

[D]Now there's nothing so peaceful as when I met you[C]
[D]And there's nothing so lonely as when it was through[C]
[D]And the words, "I'm not here anymore", echo into[C]
"I mi[D]ssed my c[D]hance wit[D]h you"[C][G][C]

[G] Had love play so many tricks on[C] me
[G] I've always felt cheated that you'd make me [C]leave
[G] Like taking my sight after letting me s[C]ee
[G] But I found out love had something up it's [C]sleeve

[D]Leave me scattered like leaves by winds that never blew[C]
[D]When I captured the starts[C]
[D]In the palm of my hand it was true[C]
I'd j[D]ust give t[D]hem back [D]to you[C][G][C]


[G] I was seventeen, but just for one[C] year
[G] I always knew one day, I'd end up[C] here
[G] And the sands have now fallen to the evening of my afte[C]rnoon
[G] I'm was always so ready to stay and always leaving too[C] soon


[D]And I don't want to think about it now, but I do[C]
[D]And my spirit is restless[C]
[D]'Cause I know it's true[C]
I mi[D]ssed my c[D]hance with[D] you[C]
