G                D                  Am     C 
Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket 
G                      D                              Am    C 
Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late 
  G                  D                      Am     C 
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket 
     G                      D                    Am    C 
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait

What a sad, beautiful, tragic love a---ffair

   G         D                      Am     C 
In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation 
        G              D               Am     C 
We both wake in lonely beds, different cities 
    G       D                       Am          C 
And time is taking it's sweet time erasing you 
    G                          D                         Am   C 
And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me
[Refrain]
         G      D                Am          C 
Cause we had, a beautiful, magic love there

What a sad, beautiful, tragic love a---ffair

[Pont]
Am                C 
Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting 
G                       D 
Silence, the train runs off its tracks 
Am                            C 
Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen 
G                     D                Am*   G/B*     C*   C*  (*once) 
Hang up, give up, and for the life, of us we can't get back

What a sad, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic, beautiful 
        G      D                 Am           C 
What we had, a beautiful, magic, love there
