C                             Am
I thought you were a constant in sickness and in health

    C                            Am
but everyone wants somebody with energy and wealth

E7                             Am
Will he have a future? Will he make you fall apart?

E7                                  Am
Will he make you feel like you were young again at heart?

F                           C
Will he be real beautiful & will you be aware

   F                              C
Of feelings you were never really sure ... were there? 

         G
But they were.


I thought you were a constant for better and for worse
I tried to win you back with words I'd written in ...
I saw they didn't touch you in the way that they once would
If I could get you back, then I'd do anything I could
I know you're pretty busy & it's rarely on your mind
but it doesn't matter where I look, you're all that I can find
You are.


CHORUS:
        C                   Am 
So take two steps forward & one step back

F                     C
Let's get it on & get back on track

C                Am
One to the left, then drop your knee

F                 C
Bring yourself on back to me


I thought you were a constant, you said you'd always be
You said that "If we ever broke up, it would be because of me."
I know that you resent me, you couldn't let that go
I know you feel uncomfortable that everybody knows
I know I should've said something before it went to far
I know you're trying to find yourself, but I know who you are
I do

I thought you were a constant, you know everyone has doubts
Aside from all my failures, I thought we'd work it out
Does he know that you have got a speckle in your eye?
Will he have a nook under his arm for you to cry?
Does he make your body ache with passion? Well he must
I know I wasn't adequate in with filling you with lust
I was
