[INTRO]
[G] [C] [D] [Am] [Dm] [Em] [F]
[VERSE]
[C]We sent our postcards saying "[Am]Wish you were here" [F]
Then made love under the [C]boardwalk pier
I got it wrong and you [Am]started to cry [F]
I said I loved you, but [C]it was a lie [G]
You were gentle and [Dm]I was ro[Em]ugh
I was [F]talking big and [C]acting tough
Now I've for[G]gotten your name, it was [Dm]so long ag[Em]o
When we were [F]two young kids
No place to [C]go, no place to [G]go [C]
[VERSE]
We lost touch, I had the [Am]world to see [F]
I didn't think of you, did you [C]think of me?
When you fell in love, was he [Am]good and kind [F]
Like I should have been for [C]your first time?
I should've [G]got you a ring from the [Dm]trinket [Em]store
And drawn a [F]heart with an arrow on the [C]boardwalk wall
Maybe [G]got you a flower to [Dm]weave in your [Em]hair
I should have done [F]something that was tender
To show that I [C]cared, to show that I [G]cared
[CHORUS]
[C]That's the [Am]way life [G]sometimes [F]goes
How things can [C]change[Em] , no[F]body [G]knows
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[C]
[VERSE]
For what it's worth and [Am]come what may [F]
I'm feeling bad when I [C]think of that day
Young love should be [Am]pure and true [F]
I should have been so [C]good for you
Do you re[G]member the kid who [Dm]got it all [Em]wrong?
Well, that [F]kid's now a man and he's [C]writing this song
I'm com[G]posing these words, trying to [Dm]tell you someho[Em]w
I didn't [F]love you then
But I love you [C]now, I love you [G]now
[CHORUS]
And [C]that's the [Am]way life [G]sometimes [F]goes
How things can [C]change[Em] , no[F]body [G]knows
Nobody [Am]knows, no[G]body [F]knows
How things can [C]change, no[F]body [G]knows
