C                           C7
I saw you in the park, reading books
                     Am
On How to start a relationship;
                       G
When you find someone new.
        C
Nearly bit off my tongue
           C7                             Am
Trying to hold the words from coming out wrong
                   G
And disappointing you


            Dm
But you go out
                    Dm
And you leave me mascara
                         G   G
Hides the shame on your face
             Dm
What if the wind catches your perfume?
             Dm                     G    G
Close the shutters of my bedroom in case.


            C
Would you remember me?
             C7
When you're thirty-three,
    F                       D
As more than just a little fun.
            C
You see, I don't want to be
       C7
Just a memory .
       F                       D
But I know I'll never be your one.

  
           C             C7
Cause the time, wasn't right,
    Am      G     
For you and me.
       C
In my mind
           C7        Am
It's not quite, the way,
                     G
You thought it would be.
          C
Caught a cab

For my broken-heart
           C7
Gave the driver, my credit card.
          Am                                 G
And said Don't stop till the black turns to dusk.
         C
Oh the smoke, from your photograph
      C7
To inhale or (it ought to pass?)
          Am                  G
But the whole thing burns to noth (nut?)


            Dm
But you go out in the evenings
    Dm                           G   G
Mascara hides the shame on your face
              Dm
What if the wind catches your perfume?
             Dm                      G    G
Close the shutters of my bedroom in case.

            C
Would you remember me?

When you're thirty-three,
    F                       D
As more than just a little fun.

       F                       D
But I know I'll never be your one.


           C             C7
Cause the time, wasn't right,
     Am     G
For you and me.
       C
In my mind
           C7       Am
It's not quite, the way,
                   G
I thought it would be.
