CHORDS AND LYRICS:
A
In many ways
Bm7
They'll miss the good old days
D6 A
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say
But I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young
Oh, man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises
They break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes
A E F#m /E
Oh, my ex says I'm lacking in depth
D A
I will do my best
You say you want to stay by my side
Darling, your head's not right
I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes
E
Oh, someday
A
Now I ain't wasting no more time
And now my fears
They come to me in threes
So I sometimes
Say faith my friend
You say the strangest things
I find sometimes
chorus
With thanks to Stoneman and Dan for their tabs..
