C        F           C
Time was once just a clock to me
    C               F      G
And life was just a book a biography
C           F                  C
Success was something you just had to be
    C             F       G
And I would spend myself unknowingly


        F           G               C
And you know that I could have me a million more friends
C                                      G
And all Id have to lose is my point of view
      C                  F
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
          G                                C
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.


C             F            C
An apple will spoil if its been abused
  C           F                   G
A candle disappears when its been used
  C           F           C
A rainbow may follow up a hurricane 
    C               F         G
And I cant leave forever on a train


        F               G         C
And you know that Id survive if I never spoke again
C                             G
And all Id have to lose is my vanity
      C                  F
But I had no idea what a good time would cost
          G                                  C
Till last night when you sat and talked with me.


        C             F                 C
You can smile for the lack of something else to do
    C           F                  G
And no one will laugh and point at you
        C           F              C
If your tears didnt always make me feel so bad
C                         F                  G      
Would you still cry every time that you felt sad? 


  F                    G              C
I thought Id heard and seen enough to get along
C                                     G
Till you said something neither of us knew
      C                  F
And I had no idea what a good time would cost
          G                                C     G  C
Till last night when I sat and talked with you.
