J.P. Cormier - The unfinished song

He said, "I'm ^Gsorry for the ^Cway that things went ^Gdown. ^C G C G ~ And the wife and I wish that you were still around. But we ^Emknow for you to ^Em7tear the threads a^Cway Would be ^Gdifficult, so ^A7I just wanna ^D7say.

"We ^Gcaught your show at the ^COrpheum last ^Gnight ^C G C G ~ And it took me back to when everything was right And the ^Empictures that she ^Em7made are all re^Cdrawn But they're ^Gincomplete like ^A7some unfinished ^Gsong"

^BmOoh, ^Cooh, ooh, ^Gooh^{D G} (ah ah ah)

"I guess retirement's been ^Ctreating us al^Gright ^C G C G ~ But the house has seemed so quiet now at night And her ^Emolder sister's ^Em7child is getting ^Cgrown And our ^Goldest, well, she's^A7 hardly ever h^D7ome

"It's ^Gfunny how the ^Criver twists and ^Gturns ^C G C G ~ You run back across the bridge before it burns But no ^Emmatter what, when ^Em7all is said and ^Cdone I ^Galways thought one ^A7day I'd call you ^G'Son'"

^BmOoh, ^Cooh, ooh, ^Gooh^{D G} (ah ah ah) ^BmOoh, ^Cooh, ^Dooh, ^Goooh

^N.C."She ^Gdoesn't really ^Ccome 'round home too ^Gmuch ^C G C G ~ And the past is something she doesn't like to touch And I ^Emwatch her try to ^Em7never let it ^Cshow How she ^Ghides her eyes when we ^A7hear you on the radi^D7o

"No ^Gmatter how we ^Cwished things could ^Gchange ^C G C G ~ I guess, the more they're bound to stay the same But we ^Emknow you always ^Em7did the best you ^Ccould Much ^Gmore than just ^A7anybody would"^G

^BmOoh, ^Cooh, ooh, ^Gooh^{D G} (ah ah ah ah) ^BmOoh, ^Cooh, ^Dooh, ^Goooh ^BmOoh, ooh, ^Cooh, ooh, ^Gooh, ooh, ^Dooh

^N.C.Well, I ^Gwatched him as he ^Cturned to walk a^Gway ^C G C G ~ Another smile and one more friendly wave And ^Emas he pulled his ^Em7car out from the ^Ccurb I ^Grealised I ^A7hadn't said a single ^D7word

Well, I ^Gwonder just how ^Clong that she'll pre^Gtend ^C G C G ~ Will she race her foolish pride right 'til the end? And she'll ^Emkeep that heart a ^Em7secret, I sup^Cpose But ^Gsomehow a ^A7father always k^Gnows ^{C G} And he said, "I'm sorry for the ^Cway that things went ^Gdown" ^{C G}
