(A)             (E)    (F#)
    I was angry, I was sad,
(E)      (D)                (E)
    just thinking about the times we had.
(A)                    (E)        (F#)
    I felt so lost and     lonely too,
(E)      (D)          (E)

(E)     (D)            (E)                 (F#)
    You lived each day like there was no tomorrow.
(E)     (D)               (E)                (F#)
    You spent those years living on time you borrowed.
(E)     (D)           (E)                 (F#)
    And in your eyes, all I could see was sorrow.
