And the World Turned

The girl (Asus2)stood on the (E)rocks with the (Asus2)water at her (E)feet and the (Asus2)sun on her skin,

(E)and a tear (B5)on her cheek.

With her (Asus2)hand at her (E)chest and the (Asus2)wind in her (E)hair,

(Asus2)underneath her (E)breath, like a (B5)beggar's prayer,

she said, (A)"I miss you.

(E)Come back (B5)to me.

(A)I wish (E)you'd

come (B5)back to me."

But (Asus2)nobody (E)heard,

(E)and the (Dsus2)world turned,

(A)and the (Asus2)world turned,

(E)and the (Dsus2)world turned.

(E5)And (Asus2)that's when the (E)girl

(Asus2)reached in her (E)pocket,

(Asus2)pulled out a (E)silver, heart (B5)shaped locket,

(Asus2)opened it up (E)and looked (Asus2)for a (E)while at a (Asus2)faded boy (E)with a (B5)lazy smile.

"Oh, how (A)I miss you.

(E)Come back (B5)to me.

(A)I wish you'd

(E)come back (B5)to me."

But (Asus2)nobody (E)heard,

(E)and the (Dsus2)world turned,

(A)and the (Asus2)world turned,

(E)and the (Dsus2)world turned,

(E5)and the (Dsus2)world (A)turned,

and the (Asus2)world (E)turned,

and the (Dsus2)world (A)turned.

(E)And she (A)walked to the deepest part (E)of the (B)river,

and she (A)thought about (E)diving (B)in.

She (A)imagined how the (A6)current would (E)overtake (B)her,

how (A)easy it would be (E)to disappear.

(Gmaj9)But (A)instead she tossed the (C#m)locket

in the (D6/9)cool,

(C#m7)blue (Asus2)(E)water.

(B)That night (Asus2)in her (E)bed, she (Asus2)let herself (E)weep;

she (Asus2)let herself (E)cry (B5)herself to sleep,

(E)and there (Asus2)in a (E)dream,

(Asus2)somewhere in the (E)night, saw the (Asus2)boy in the (E)locket by the (B5)riverside,

saying, (Dsus2)world (A)turned.

(E5)And the (Dsus2)world turned,
