Lyrics

He came from (G7)somewhere (F)back in her (C)long ago,

(Em7)the (F)(G#dim)(Am7)sentimental fool don't (Ab9)see, tryin' hard to (F)recreate what had (C)yet to be created

(F)once in (G#dim)her (Am7)life.

She (Ab9)musters a (C)smile where for his nostalgic tale,

(Am7)where never comin' near what he (Ab9)wanted to say,

(F)only (C)to realize

(Em7)it (F)never (G#dim)(Am7)really was.

She had a place in his (G7)life.

(Am7)He never made her think twice.

As he (Dm7)rises (Fmaj7)to her (Cmaj7)apology,

(Bb7)(A7)anybody (Dm7)else would (Fmaj7)surely (Am7)know

he's watching her (F#m7)go.

But what a fool (Fm7)believes he (Ab)sees,

no wise man has the (Eb)power

to reason (Cm7)away.

(Eb)What (Fm7)seems to (Ab)be is always better than (Eb)nothing.

And nothing at (Cm7)all

(Ab)keeps sending him (C)some where back in her long ago,

(Am7)where he can still believe there's a (Ab9)place in her life.

(F)on (C)Someday, somealhow,

(Em7)it (F)she will (G#dim)(Am7)return.

(Ab)What a fool (Fm7)believes.
