G D A D
[Verse]
D
When I was young and went to school
A
They taught me how to write
To take the chalk and make a mark
D
And hope it turns out right
Well that's the way it is with love
G
And what you did to me
D
I wrote it so you'd know
A D
That I was yours eternally
[Chorus]
D
But my tears have washed I love you
A
From the blackboard of my heart
It's too late to clean the slate
D
And make another start
I'm satisfied the way things are
G
Although we're far apart
D
My tears have washed I love you from
A D
The blackboard of my heart
[Verse]
D
If you'd been true the way you should
A
And not have gone astray
These tears would not have fallen down
D
And washed the words away
No need to talk, 'cause if the chalk
G D
Should write those words again It will be for someone else
A D
Not things that might have been
[Chorus]
D
But my tears have washed I love you
A
From the blackboard of my heart
It's too late to clean the slate
D
And make another start
I'm satisfied the way things are
G
Although we're far apart
D
My tears have washed I love you from
A D
The blackboard of my heart
D
My tears have washed I love you from
A D
The blackboard of my heart
