C                     E     When I wrote you that letter
Am                   GYou'd already made up your mind
C       Am                F#All my words were writ in vain
C                E        When I called you up that day
Am                  G         C      Am     F#I was only calling up to say hello
          C         E         Am      G    But goodbye 
                   C                               Am       F#Was the words that you'd been thinking 'bout for days

C                                           E     Didn't know that you were going to leave me
Am                                   GWish I knew the way to make you come home
Am                                 F#What can I do if this is right for you

Am           C              G           DI have not been perfect for you
 Am            C                 G      D      Know I think I was back at the start
Am             C             G          DYou have no more patience for me
Am                      C             G      DSo now I guess we'll both just drift apart
C                    EAll those times I wasn't there
Am                      GThe times you thought I didn't care
C                Am                F#I hope you can believe I thought of you
C                    ECause you were everything I needed
Am                                   GI've been selfish and so self absorbed
E                       Am              F#I thought that you'd be waiting when I reached the other side
C                    E             Am              GLast night I put my arms around another woman's waist
C                        Am                F#The touch was sweet but bitter while we danced

C                        EGreat love can bring greater pain
Am                  GI hope I fall in love again
E               Am                 F#What can I do if this is right for you



Am           C              G             DI have not been perfect for you
 Am                 C               G      D      I like to think I was back at the start
Am             C            G         DYou have no more patience for me
Am                      C              G         D       F#So now I guess we'll both just drift apart


(Lots of ladada with refrain chords)

E           Am I want the best for you 
C          F#                Cand now I realize that isn't me
           Am               CI haven't been the man you need
            F#         EI wish I'd been able to be
E          Am              C            F#               EI'm sorry that I did not give you everything that you desired
        E                C                     Am            F#  And that I made you feel upset when you just made me feel inspired

Am           C              G        DI have not been perfect for you
 Am                       C           G        D      I wish we could go back and just restart
Am             C              G         DYou have no more patience for me
Am                      C              G         DSo now I guess we'll both just drift apart


Drift apart
