Capo III 


INTRO: C G F G7 C 

C                  G 
How can you ask me how have I been 
   F                             G 
I think you should know well the shape that I'm in 
C                           G 
You tell me you wondered if I was okay 
       F             G7            C 
Well that's a damned fool thing to say 

The water is risin the water is wide 
And you're always standin on the other side 
Then comes the moment I wake in the dawn 
With hours to lie here alone 


CHORUS 1: 
    Bb                          F 
You seem so surprised that I'm feeling this way 
G           G7      G 
How am I so lonely today 
   C                     F 
If you ever loved me the way I loved you 
F             G7    C 
You would be lonely too 

SOLO 

So here's to the lovers for old times sake 
Who don't hold each other to the promise they break 
And smile through the window and wave on the street 
'Cause that's all you want from me 


CHORUS 2: 
Bb                        F 
Should I say something to put you at ease 
     G           G7         G 
Or should I get down on my knees 
        C                    G 
But if you ever loved me the way I love you 
F            G7      G 
You would be lonely too 
         C                   G 
But if you ever loved me the way I loved you 
F             G7     C 
You would be lonely too 




The record, however, is capo'd at the third fret, so these chords sound a bit off.
