G
I HEARD HIS TIME WAS SHORT SO I 
C                  G
WENT TO SEE MY OLD FRIEND
                                       
WHEN I WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR HE SAID 
C                    G
SURE GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN
C
SIT DOWN HERE BY ME, 
                         G
DOC SAYS MY FUTURE AIN'T BRIGHT
                                      
BUT EVEN IF I DON'T BEAT IT THERE'S A 
C          D               G
PART OF MY PAST THAT WON'T DIE
                           C
HE POINTS TO A PICTURE AND SMILES
              G
FROM HIS EASY CHAIR
                                C
AS HE RELIVES THE MOMENTS, SAYS GIRL
                      G
THAT WAS HEAVEN RIGHT THERE
C
YOU CAN SEE HIS HEART'S BROKEN
                                G
AS A LONESOME TEAR DROPS TO THE FLOOR
                                C
AND ALONG WITH THE SILENCE THAT FELL
       D            G
CAME A KNOCK AT THE DOOR
Chorus:
          Em            C           D
A BOUQUET WRAPPED UP IN RIBBONS AND BOWS
    Em         C      D
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE I SUPPOSE
                                 C STOP (1ST-TIME ONLY)
BUT HE CLINGS TO THE LAST RAY OF HOPE
                  G   C
AND A DOZEN WHITE ROSES
G
THEY WERE MEANT FOR EACHOTHER
         C                    G
THAT WAS CLEAR RIGHT FROM THE START
                                  C
WHAT A SHAME TOO MUCH PRIDE AND A JEALOUS HEART 
          G
KEPT THEM APART
  C
A CARD AND SOME FLOWERS
                           G
AIN'T QUITE ENOUGH TO MAKE AMENDS
                          C
FOR FIFTY YEARS LIVING A LIFE 
   D                G
OF WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
REPEAT Chorus G  C  G  C  G
