F#m7     |-2-X-2-2-x-x-|

[Verse 1]
 
    E             F#m7            B6-sus    A6 sus  A
You took out that money that your momma had saved
    Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
She told me she kept it for running a...way
    E/B        B7
Oh my, fortunes can change
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    E             F#m7                  B6-sus        A6 sus  A
You've picked up some tricks that you've learned on your way
    Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
For fear you'd be lonely if you never change
   E/B               B7
Oh my, you lost your faith
 
 
[Verse 3]
   E          F#m7            B6-sus    A6 sus  A
We landed on rocks and that's partly to blame
   Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
We wandered the landscape in this unbearable pain
   E/B        B7    E  F#m7     B6-sus    A6 sus  A
Oh my, your fortune can change
 
 
[Verse 4]
   E        F#m7             B6-sus    A6 sus  A
At least we agree that we've wasted our time
       Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
We'll give up the hope that we'll meet down the line
    E/B        B7                 E    F#m7     B6-sus    A6 sus  A
Better off measured in coffee and wine
 
 
[Verse 5]
  E           F#m7           B6-sus       A6 sus  A
I think on it fondly now the truth can be told
   Eb6-sus   Eb6            C#m     E/B   C#m6
Some love is ancient and it lives on in your soul
  E/B        B7            E   F#m7     B6-sus    A6 sus  A
A fortune that never grows old
 
 
[Bridge]
 E           F#m7           B6-sus       A6 sus  A
You spent all that money that your momma had saved
 Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
Told me she kept it for running away
  Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
Never quite found the right way to say
  Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
"I'm sorry, my darling, my mind, it has been changed
 E/B                  B7        E
Release me from this unbearable pain"
 
 
[Verse 6]
 E           F#m7         B6-sus   A6 sus  A
And so ends a story I had hoped to change
 
  Eb6-sus Eb6        C#m        E/B   C#m6
I had to release us from this unbearable pain
  E/B         B7                E
And promise we won't come here again
 
 
[Instrumental]
  E           F#m7           B6-sus       A6 sus  A
 Eb6-sus     Eb6        C#m     E/B   C#m6
 E/B        B7  E
              You took out that money that your momma had saved
She told me she kept it for running away
Oh my, fortunes can change

You've picked up some tricks that you learnt on your way
For fear you'd be lonely if you never change
Oh my, you lost your faith

We landed on rocks and that's partly to blame
We wandered the landscape in this unbearable pain
Oh my, your fortune can change

At least we agree that we've wasted our time
We'll give up the hope that we'll meet down the line
Better off measured in coffee than wine

I think on it fondly now the truth can be told
Some love is ancient and it lives on in your soul
A fortune that never grows old

You spent all that money that your momma had saved
Told me she kept it for running away
Never quite found the right way to say
I'm sorry, my darling, my mind it has been changed
Release me from this unbearable pain

And so ends a story I had hoped to change
I had to release us from this unbearable pain
And promise we won't come here again
