    D                   D7              C     G 
Someday when things are good, I'm gonna leave you 
D                                  A 
I can't seem to go when things are bad 
D                D7                C     G    F# Em
I'll be one more love that you can dream about 
    D                 A                  D 
And one more man that you can say you've had.
 
 
       D             D7               C     G 
You'll always be the kind to dream of yesterday 
      D                        A 
And a way of life I never understood 
    D                 D7               C   G  F# Em
And someday soon I'll be just one more memory 
           D                 A                 D 
And you'll call my name when things are not so good
