                   C                     F 
You should take it back in no circumstance 
       G 
I understand, remember 
    C                    F 
The man on the street is wrong  
  G 
again 

  F                    G 
I used to think I knew something that 
   C 
No one else knew 
  Am   
I was a fool 
       F                 G 
When a lonely voice in a lonely town 
     C 
Just couldn't tell 
  A7               F   G   C 
I should have helped out 
       
                    C 
And the times you'd wait 
                     F 
Outside the corn exchange  
                 G 
With ghosts and rain 
          C                        F 
You were lost when the cloud came down 
      G 
My friend 

       F 
When a loved one's dead 
         G 
You look at the sky  
     C                  Am 
In a different way, but that's OK 
    F                         G 
Cos perfect things still can break your heart 
       C 
That's not to say 
    A7        F    G   C 
I'd ever change that 
    F                G          
There's always still guilt 
  C
