Tom: A

1.     We said a million times we'd change,

    can't bring myself to say those words again.
D                          E
    A piper never changes tune,
D                                 A
    you can't grow apples on the moon.
    A
2.    The hurtful things we say still penetrate,

    and whispered "sorry"s always come too late.
D                            E
   Then the damage has been done,
D                                  A
    what are we going to tell our son? 
D                               A
    I want to spare his broken heart,
D                               A
    break it gently that we'll live apart.
E                                 D
    Don't know the proper way to say ,
                                    A
    he won't be seeing daddy every day.
    A
3.    Those weekly outings never work, you know,

    buying gifts and candy, picture shows.
D                                E
    They can't replace the man around,
D                                 A
    your voice, your touch, your manly sound.
   A
4.    I guess the trouble is I love you still,

    and if it comes to that, I always will.
D                               E
    No, please don't cry, it's just too late,
         D                              A
    now hurry on, she's waiting at the gate.
