(Intro)
A E
Just to think I had her in my hands
F#m7
To think we made our plans
B D E
Somehow it feels just like a dream
A E
For I played it so darn cool
F#m7
Is there a bigger fool
B D E
To say I wanted to be free
C#m7 F#m D E D E
'Cause now I know just what she meant to me
A F#m

D E F#m Dmaj7 E

A E
Look around but there's no way out
