    D            C             G               Am      C 
The party wasn't over, when my friends started leaving 
               G               D 
Still a lot of things I had to say 
N.C. D                   C              G            Am       C 
If I walked back in that room, would it be the way I left it? 
        G                 D 
Lost my nerve and turned away 
  
And the rains came 
        Am                G  D - F 
And the skies turned grey
