Standard (EADGBE)

 It's been a long time since that walk in the rain

 It's been a long time since I felt this way

 It took a long time to get here and a long way around

 I still can't give the reasons though, they won't be found

Chorus

 I was a foooool, I didn't know what I had

 I was a foooool to turn my back

 I was a foooool, let it rest with that

That's my defence, I was a fool

There isn't a cause in explainin' why

There isn't a word that can make it right

If trouble is sleepin' you just let it lie

You can't find it in you to take my reply

Chorus

It doesn't make sense to recall the pain

Livin' with memories can get in the way

There's a lot that have passed and some that remain

Countin' the strokes it's easily maintained

Chorus
