Strum
D-DU-UDU
you  and me
had  some history
had  a semblance of honesty
all that  has changed now
we  shared words
only  lover speak
how  can it be
we are  less than strangers
 Refr.
oh  it  hurts to lose in love
let  anger and cruelty win
it's  unfair that you doubt your feelings
and  that you'll ever love again
i  know  that hearts can change
like  the seasons and the wind
but  when i said forever
i  thought that we'd always be friends
 verse.
you  and me
had  some history
had  a semblance of honesty
all  that has changed now
we  shared words
only  lovers speak
how  can it be
we are  less than strangers
 Refr.
i  thought  i saw you yesterday
i  thought i passed you on the street
i  swear  i saw your face
i  was not imagining
that  you stole a glance my way
you  walked away from me
my  heart  it may be broken
but  my eyes are dry to see
 verse.
you  and me had some history
had  a semblance of honesty
all  that has changed now
we  shared words
only  lovers speak
how  can it be
we are  less than strangers
