All I ever did while you were here was done for you
F G F C
Or so I said, perhaps through fear that nothing less would make you stay
C Em Bb C
All I'd ever done or ever was meant something new
F G F C
Or so I thought, perhaps because the past seemed night and this seemed day
D7 F C G7 F
All I'd ever seen was black and white, all I'd ever sung was off-key
D7 F C Em
All I'd ever spoken sounded trite
F G7
And then with you I was all the things I wished to be
C Em Bb C
All I ever did while you were here was done for you
F G
Now through my tears I'm asking why
F Fm C
All you ever said was goodbye
