     D                            G 
Last night I told a stranger all about you 
     D                          G 
They smiled patiently with disbelief 
  D                                G 
I always knew you would succeed no matter what you tried

      C               G              D       G 
And I know you did it all in spite of me

          D                              G 
Still I'm proud to have know you for the short time that I did 
D                                    G 
Proud to have been a step up on your way 
D                          G 
Proud to be part of your illustrious career
[Ritornello]
      C               G              D      G 
And I know you did it all in spite of me 
            D      G 
In spite of me

Late last night I saw you in my living room 
    C                          G 
You seemed so close but yet so cold 
      C                                 G 
For a long time I thought that you'd be coming back to me 
      D                          G 
Those kind of thoughts can be so cruel 
   D         G 
So cruel
