Eb
How can you ask me
Bb
How have I been
Ab
I think you should know well
Bb
The shape that I'm in
Eb
You tell me you wondered
Bb
If I was ok
Ab            Bb            Eb
That's a damn fool thing to say
Eb
The water is rising
Bb
The water is wide
Ab
And your always standing
Bb
On the other side
Eb
Then comes the moment
  Bb
I wake in the dawn
Ab            Bb       Eb
With hours to lie here alone
    Db
You seem so surprised
         Ab
That I'm feeling this way
Bb          Bbsus     Bb
How am I so lonely today
Eb
If you ever loved me
Bb
The way I loved you
Ab            Bb    Eb
You would be lonely too

Eb
So here's to the lovers
Bb
For old times sake
Ab
Who don't hold each other
       Bb
To the promise they  break
Eb
And smile through the window
    Bb
And wave on the street
Ab                   Bb            Eb
Cause that's all you want now from me
Db
Should I say something
       Ab
To put you at ease
Bb              Bbsus       Bb
Or should I get down on my  knees
Eb
But if you ever loved me
    Bb
The way I love you
Ab           Bb     Eb
You would be lonely too
Eb
But if you ever loved me
    Bb
The way I love you
Ab           Bb     Eb
You would be lonely too
