   [G]     Passed through main street[C] yesterday
   [G]     And, oh, this town just ai[C]n't the same
   [G]     Looked in the window and i[C]t was gone
   [G]     All those tables I'd writt[C]en on

        [D]We're vanished as if I had never been ther[C]e
        [D]Like the poets and prophets who can't find the words so they star[C]e
        [D]And all that made sense has somehow turned askew[C]
        I mi[D]ssed my c[D]hance wit[D]h you    [C]                   [G]                                   [C]

    [G]    There were seconds then minutes then years that I could not [C]breathe
    [G]    In the Pere Lachaise with the hammer the chisel and the ston[C]e
    [G]    Now I've bartered and begged for what I b[C]elieved
    [G]    And I saw that the name engraved was my[C] own

        [D]Now there's nothing so peaceful as when I met you[C]
        [D]And there's nothing so lonely as when it was through[C]
        [D]And the words, "I'm not here anymore", echo into[C]
        "I mi[D]ssed my c[D]hance wit[D]h you"   [C]                 [G]                                 [C]

    [G]    Had love play so many tricks on[C] me
    [G]    I've always felt cheated that you'd make me [C]leave
    [G]    Like taking my sight after letting me s[C]ee
    [G]    But I found out love had something up it's [C]sleeve

        [D]Leave me scattered like leaves by winds that never blew[C]
        [D]When I captured the starts[C]
        [D]In the palm of my hand it was true[C]
        I'd j[D]ust give t[D]hem back [D]to you     [C]                  [G]                                [C]

    [G]    I was seventeen, but just for one[C] year
    [G]    I always knew one day, I'd end up[C] here
    [G]    And the sands have now fallen to the evening of my afte[C]rnoon
    [G]    I'm was always so ready to stay and always leaving too[C] soon

        [D]And I don't want to think about it now, but I do[C]
        [D]And my spirit is restless[C]
        [D]'Cause I know it's true[C]
        I mi[D]ssed my c[D]hance with[D] you [C]
