Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Time was once just a clock to me

 And life was just a book a biography

Success was something you just had to be

 And I would spend myself unknowingly

 And you know that I could have me a million more friends

And all Id have to lose is my point of view

 But I had no idea what a good time would cost

 Till last night when I sat and talked with you.

An apple will spoil if its been abused

 A candle disappears when its been used

 A rainbow may follow up a hurricane

 And I cant leave forever on a train

 And you know that Id survive if I never spoke again

And all Id have to lose is my vanity

 But I had no idea what a good time would cost

 Till last night when you sat and talked with me.

 You can smile for the lack of something else to do

 And no one will laugh and point at you

 If your tears didnt always make me feel so bad

Would you still cry every time that you felt sad?

 I thought Id heard and seen enough to get along

Till you said something neither of us knew

 And I had no idea what a good time would cost

 Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
