Tom : G
G G C/G C/G D/G
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange when I try to explain how I feel
D/G G G
that I still need your love after all that I've done.
Em/G Em/G A7
You won't believe me, all you will see is a girl you once knew,
A7/G D/F# A7 D
although she's dressed up to the nines, at sixes and sevens with you.
[Verse 2]
G G C/G C/G D/G
I had to let it happen, I had to change, couldn't stay all my life down at heel,
D/G G G
looking out of the window, staying out of the sun.
Em/G Em/G A7
So, I chose freedom, running around trying everything new,
A7/G D/F# A7 D
but nothing impressed me at all, I never expected it to.
[Chorus]
G C/G G C/G G G
Don't cry for me, Argenti - na, the truth is I never left you,
D Em
all through my wild days, my mad existence,
Gmaj7/D C
N.C.
I kept my promise, don't keep your distance.
[Verse 3]
G G C/G C/G D/G
And as for fortune, and as for fame, I never invited them in
D/G G G
though it seemed to the world they were all I desired.
Em/G Em/G A7
They are illusions, they're not the solutions they promised to be,
A7/G D/F# A7 D
the answer was here all the time, I love you and hope you love me.
[Bridge]
G C/G G C/G G G
Don't cry for me, Argenti - na, ooh,
D Em
ooh,
Gmaj7/D C
N.C.
ooh.
[Chorus]
[Outro]
C C Bm7 Bm7
Have I said too much? There's nothing more I can think of to say to you,
Cmaj7
N.C. Gsus2 G
but all you have to do is look at me to know that every word is true.
