Never be the same (1980)    (video)    (midi)

 

    G - Em - Am - D (2x)

 

                  G

1. It was good for me, it was good for you,

    Em 

   now nothing either of us can say or do,

              Am

    can change the way you look tonight,

      D                       D7  

    sometimes love slips out of sight.

       G

    Just one thing before you go,

    Em

    just one thing that you’ve got to know,

    Am

    no one will ever touch me that way,

             D                              D7

    the way that you did that very first day.

 

       G                           Am

And I will never be the same without you here,

              D            D7                   G                    - D

I’ll live alone and hide myself behind my tears.

       G                           Am

No, I will never be the same without your love,

              D            D7                 G                 - D

I’ll live alone and try so hard to rise above.

 

             G

2. The years go by, there’s always someone new

        Em

    to try and help me forget about you,

   Am

    time and again it does me no good,

      D                              D7

    love never feels the way that it should.

        G

    I love you then, I guess I’ll love you forever,

           Em

    and even though I know we could never stay together,

       Am

    I think about how it could’ve been,

        D                               D7

    if we could just start all over again.

 

       G                           Am

And I will never be the same without you here,

              D            D7                   G                    - D

I’ll live alone and hide myself behind my tears.

       G                           Am

No, I will never be the same without your love,

              D            D7                  G

I’ll live alone and try so hard to rise above.

3. It was good for me, it was good for you,

     Em

    now either of us can say or do,

             Am

    can change the way you feel today,

      D                              D7

    sometimes love just slips away.

       G

    Just one thing before you go,

    the way that you did that very first day.
