        C  B7  Em    


[Verso 1]

C               B7   Em                   G 
  All cautions made,  every chance was given 
C             B7       Em           G 
  No effort spared to save what we had 
C              B7      Em            G 
  All in good faith I would not hesitate 
C              B7       Em          G 
  To extend myself and lend you my hand

                        Em             B5  Am 
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way 
             C                 G5  Em 
Had to be a fool, had to throw it  all away 
                                     B5   Am 
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay 
               C                   G5  Em 
If that were true, it wouldn't matter  anyway

[Verso 2]

C             B7   Em            G 
  As tempers fade,  and lies forgiven 
C              B7           Em           G 
  No cause embraced could break what we had 
C          B7   Em              G 
  In its place,  a storm is liftin' 
C              B7                  Em        G 
  I would've thought you could be more of a man
