This is the story of a Cman

And how he let it all just Amslip away

Verse I:
Now twenty years have come and Cgone
And still he wonders what he Amdid so wrong
And how that he can win Fback her heart
And finally step outside Gof the dark
He buys fresh roses every Cday
Her favorite flower C/Bso she Amused to say
And now the memories all that Fhe has left
And I'm afraid he'll drink himGself to death

Verse II:
It's clear she's moved on long aCgo
But he still clings on to a Amdistant hope
That she'll come and make a Fhappy home
For now it's him and the bottle Gall alone
Sometimes you'll see him in the Cyard
A wounded man C/Bwith a Amdesperate heart
He keeps the hedges trimmed Fnice and neat
To keep them the way that the Gused to be
Chorus:
This is the story of a Cman
Who took for granted everyEthing he had
And how he let it all just Amslip away
Never to reFturn again
COoh E
Am F~
Ooh
Outro:
A single dress hangs on its Cown
The scent of perfume all he Amhas to hold
A wasted life waiting Fon a dream
Hoping for things the way they Gused to be
This is the story of a Cman
Who took for granted everyEthing he had
And how he let it all just Amslip away
Never to reFturn again
End on: C*
