How can p eople st and such tears
On w hat's already been done
And n ow with time just o ne step b ehind us
We'v e so far ye t to r un
But there will b e no more
Di sappointed h eartaches le ft for me
My pr ize is almo st won
But those s ongs of love won't me an the same
As w hen we'd first beg un
I wan b orn a fo ol for tre asure
But it was h idden in the rough
Ah, but w hen the gold was i n my hand
You know I trie d for ha rder s tuff
So, all h urt and down,
You know I t ook my lo ve to town
Hoping someone,
Some body would jus t call my bluff
But those s ongs of love won't mean the same
As w hen we'd first beg un
You know the world and a ll of its pl easures
I guess they t empted me far too young
And I know I 've been wrong in s o many songs
That I must just have be en right in o ne
Oh what a p rice to pay
B F＃ B♭7 E♭m7 G＃6 G＃aug G＃m7 Fdim
Just for w inning th is way
Now t hose songs of love won't m ean the same
As w hen we'd first beg un
As w hen we'd first begun
