E D A/E E A
[Verse 1]
A D
Operator please connect me with nineteen eighty two
E D E A E
I need to make apologies for what I didn't do
A Bm D
I sure do need to tell her that I've thought the whole thing through
E A
And now it's clear that she is what I should have held on to
[Chorus]
E A D A
They say hindsight's twenty twenty, but I'm nearly going blind
B7 E
From staring at her photograph and wishing she was mine
A D Bm
It's that same ole lost love story, it's sad, but it's true
E A
There was a time when she was mine in nineteen eighty two
[Verse 2]
A D
Postman can you sell me a special kind of stamp
E D E A E
One to send a letter from this crazy, lonely man
A D Bm
Back into the wasted years of my living past
E A
I need to tell her now I know how long my love will last
[Chorus]
E A D A
They say hindsight's twenty twenty, but I'm nearly going blind
B7 E
From staring at her photograph and wishing she was mine
A D Bm
It's that same ole lost love story, it's sad, but it's true
E A
There was a time when she was mine in nineteen eighty two
E A D A E A
Losing my mind going back in time to nineteen eighty two
