Email:
Now the [F]day is gone and I [Dm7]sit alone and think of you girl
What can I [Am7]do without [Bb]you in my [F]life.
[Dm]I guess that[C#+] our guessing game [F/C]just had to end that [G7]way
[Bb] [Dm7] [Gm7] [C7]
The [Bb]hardest[C] one to lose of all the games we played
But the [F]time has passed for [Dm7]living in a dream world
And [Am7]lying to myself, [Bb]can't make that [F]scene
Of [Dm]wond'ring if you [C#+]love me, or [F/C]just making a fool of [G7]me
[Bb] [Dm7] [Gm7] [C7]
Well I[F] hope you understand, I just had to go back to the island,
[F]And watch the sun go [Bb]down, hear the sea roll [F]in
But I'll be thinking of [C7]you and how it might have [F]been
Hear the nightbird [Bb]cry and watch the sunset [F]down
Well I [C7]hope you understand I just had to go back to the [F]island.
[Dm]For all the [F/C]sunny skies [Bb]it's rainin' in my [F]heart
[Dm]I know down in my [Bb]soul I'm really gonna miss [F]you
But it [Dm]had to end this [F/C]way [Bb]with all the games we [F]played
[Bb] [F/C] [Bb] [C7]
Well [F]I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island
[F]And watch the sun go [Bb]down, hear the sea roll [F]in
But I'll be thinking of [C7]you and how it might have [F]been
[F]Hear the nightbird [Bb]cry and watch the sunset [F]down
Well I [C7]hope you understand I just had to go back to the [F]island
[F]And watch the sun go [Bb]down, hear the sea roll [F]in.
[Dm7] [C#+]
