[A] I was angry,[E] I was [F#]sad,
[E] just [D]thinking about the [E]times we had.
[A] I felt so lost and [E] lonely [F#]too,
[E] what [D]could I say, [E]what could I do?
[D] After all, the [E]time goes[F#] by.
[D] No one knows the [E]reasons[F#] why.
[E] You [D]lived each day [E]like there was no to[F#]morrow.
[E] You [D]spent those years [E]living on time you [F#]borrowed.
[E] And [D]in your eyes, [E]all I could see was [F#]sorrow.
