Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  guess the dance is over now,
so  you just curtsey, and I'll bow,
 and ask the  band to play us Auld Lang Syne.
And  I'll just take what’s left of me,
right  back to where it used to be,
 and you'll  go sail your magic carpet  far across the sky.
 I wish  I could have made it
more  like the movies for you,
some  pretty Technicolor way  that’s never  been.
 I’m sorry  when I kissed you,
you  only heard  me whisper,
you  never got to hear  those violins,  did you girl?
 No, you never got  to hear  those violins.
The  castles that you built  so high,
were  just to steep for me  to climb,
 and I guess  these dirty streets of mine, were just  to rough for you.
I  wish I could’ve helped  you see
just  one of your sweet childhood  dreams,
 but though  I tried, I could not make not one  of them come true.
 I wish  I could have made it
more  like the movies for you,
some  pretty Technicolor way  that’s never  been.
 I’m sorry  when I kissed you,
you  only heard  me whisper,
you  never got to hear  those violins,  did you girl?
 No, you never got  to hear  those violins.
 I’m sorry  when I kissed you,
you  only heard  me whisper,
you  never got to hear  those violins,  did you girl?
 No, you never got  to hear  those violins.
