Verse 1C Fmaj7I keep a letter in my drawerC FPostmark from several years beforeC DmA headstone etched there on the page - a name a place a dying dayAm FBut god, I'm never sureVerse 2C Fmaj7I guess three years ago last weekC Fmaj7A ghost-girl drifted down to meC DmAnd left the outline of a timid face then slipped away without a traceAm FThrough space between the gravesChorus 1C DmAnd then I fell down on my kneesAm FI placed a kiss on stony cheeksC DmI feel that grit between my teethAm FWhy won't she stay, love never stayed with me(brief interlude resolves to C)Verse 3C Fmaj7Something like eighteen months agoC Fmaj7I chased a rumor chased a hopeC Dm AmThat at St. Peter's church the clock strikes twelve and ghost girls tend to show themselves but this oneFWould not comeChorus 2C DmAnd then I fell down on my kneesAm FI placed a kiss on stony cheeksC DmI feel that grit between my teethAm FWhy won't she stay, love never stayed with meVerse 4C Fmaj7The years get longer counting daysC Fmaj7I've got some private holidaysC DmBut when I burned my words by candle-light I saw her standing there behindAm F'Go on,' she said, 'I'll wait.'Chorus 3C DmAnd then I fell down at her feetAm FI laid a kiss on bloodless cheeksC FEscaping steam between my teethAm FWhy won't she stay, love never stayed with me
