Strum
D-DU-UDU
Inrto x 2: (end on a final G strum before the pause for verse)
I had a moment when I thought I might be wrong,
But Ashley how could it be?
I waited on the rooftop all night long,
But you weren't coming for me.
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid
You said you wanted me but you never did
There was a moment I thought our love was strong,
But now that moment is gone.
I could stand right underneath the window of your room,
Throwing rocks I've done it before
And I would love to find a reason to dazzle you with lies,
But I don't have the energy no more.
And you never promised anything that you didn't give,
I assumed that you'd say yes but you never did.
There was a moment my love for you was strong,
but now that moment is gone. Now that moment is gone.
G, C (strum each chord a few times fast and hard before the lines with just
vocals)
I saw you behind the camera whispering
to your friends and watching me
I fell in love with you there was proved the
fool that I can often be
(This hard strumming
, pattern continues for a while,
you will have to listen to get this down cause.
Below is the little horn thingy that's playing over the middle C,G stuff

I had a moment when I thought I might be right,
But Ashley how could it be?
I drank your sherry bourbon thinking you might come around,
There ain't no one on this rooftop but me.
And now I'm sitting here like a mixed up little kid,
You said you wanted me but you never did.
There was a moment my love for you was strong,
But Ashley that moment is gone
Ashley that moment is gone.
Now that moment is gone.
That should be pretty damn close. I may have misplaced a chord name here
or there but follow the pattern of the rest if I messed up. It is a pretty
simple, and awesome, song. Enjoy.
