[intro: F# (implicit) to G#m: the key phrase is as follows]
E E F# F# Bb Bb B
B B C# C# F# F# G# G#
Eb
B G#m
So many years ago I thought you were the one...
B F#
who knows when people change, surrender into strangeness,
G#m F#
adrift upon their lives, encompassed by the past;
E
who knows which one becomes the last goodbye?
G#m
Don't try to tell me nothing dies.
[same as intro] G#m G#m
Don't try to tell me nothing's changed, don't try to tell me nothing's new,
G#m E
too many of my yesterdays belong to you.
B C#sus4 B C#sus4
Tell me about it, talk to me,
B
I hear it coming, I feel it coming,
Ebm
the way you want this thing to be.
E
You're only trading on our memories
G#m
don't go and say you still love me.
B G#m
I shelved my broken heart, I put you from my mind,
B F#
I got up from my knees, I picked up all my pieces,
G#m F#
but seeing you again puts shakes into my soul.
E
Just when I think I'm finally over you,
G#m
don't come and show me that's not true.
[same as before]
Oh, tell me about it, have your way; I see it coming, I hear it coming,
I know what you're about to say. You've had too many of my yesterdays,
and I don't want to fall again.

You're trading on my memories, you're trading in a rosy past;
[and again]

Behind the dance of seven veils
E [chord]
I still see you....
[the rest is as before; song ends on E]
Tell me about it, have your way....
Don't try to tell me nothing's changed, don't try to tell me nothing's new,
too many of my yesterdays are lost in you.
