Intro: A G A

D            A          G 
In the hope I'll forget I'll wait 
        D           A       G 
It's a chance I'll take oh yeah 
         D         A        G    
In the hope I'll forget I'll wait 
          D    A   G 
For the time 


D              A         G  
In the spring I'll watch my step
        D           A       G 
While the night-time passes by
         D            A    G   
When a smile suits me all alone
      D    A   G 
I'll be fine


                      A         
There's got to be a better song to sing 
          G               
Before I hang upon your shoulder 
              G                           A 
Telling the truth it may be bolder this time 
                     D              A 
There's got to be a better song to sing 
               G               
That makes a lonely one less cold oh 
          G                 D         A 
Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry 


         D              A        G  
Watching friends playing in the dirt
        D           A     G 
Feeling hard but feeling hurt
         D            A    G   
By the sadness that wastes my time
       D    A   G 
It's a crime


         D         A    G  
Counting acts which I must add
        D        A     G 
To collect sad memories
         D       A    G   
From a past I'd soon forget
     D      A   G 
Swap or leave


                      A         
There's got to be a better song to sing 
          G               
Before I hang upon your shoulder 
              G                           A 
Telling the truth it may be bolder this time 
                     D              A 
There's got to be a better song to sing 
               G               
That makes a lonely one less cold oh 
          G                 D         A 
Before I hang upon your shoulder and cry 


         D         A    G  
At the gate I'll wave goodbye
        D            A       G 
To the friends that were my lies
         D         A    G
And I'll see them off at dawn
       

D      A   G 
Feeling wise
Feeling wise
Feeling wise
