[Verse]
             Ab7                   Db      
He came from somewhere back in her long ago
Ab7             Bbm           
The sentimental fool don't see
Ab7                              Db7              
Trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created
            Db7                                            
Once in her life she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
Ebm7                                     Ab7
■    Never coming near what he wanted to say
        Db         Ab7   Bbm       
Only to realize it never really was


[Chorus]
    Bbm7               Absus4 Ab7
She had a place in his life   ■  
Bbm7 Bbm            Ab7         Absus4
He   never made her think twice ■     
Ab7       Ebm7  Ab7    Db     
■   As he rises to her apology
Ebm     Ebm7       Ab7    Bbm7
Anybody else would surely know
                  Ab7
He's watching her go 
           Gbm7 A E A E               
But what a fool ■ ■ ■ believes he sees
                             Dbm7        E
No wise man has the power to reason away ■
Gbm7 E Bsus4 E          
What ■ ■     seems to be
E                            
Is always better than nothing
Dbm7                E A                
Than nothing at all ■ keeps sending him


[Verse]
Ab7                   Db       Ab7
Somewhere back in her long ago ■  
                   Bbm7                               
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Db                         Bbm   
Someday somewhere she will return
Bbm7 Bbm Bbm7                Absus4   Ab7
She  ■   ■    had a place in his life ■  
Bbm7              Absus4 Ebm7  Absus4
He never made her think  twice ■     


[Chorus]
Ab7       Ebm7  Absus4 Db     
■   As he rises to her apology
Ebm7               Absus4 Bbm7
Anybody else would surely know
                  Eb7 Bbm Gm7
He's watching her go  ■   ■  
Gb7 Gbm7 A E A E             Dbm7     E    Gbm7
■   But  ■ ■ ■ ■ what a fool believes ■ he sees
                             E          
No wise man has the power to reason away
Bsus4 E          
What  seems to be
   E                         
Is always better than nothing
             Dbm7 Gbm7
Than nothing at   all 
       E    Gbm7            
What a fool believes he sees
        Gbm7             
No wise man has the power
Bsus4 B Bsus4 E
■     ■ ■     ■
   E          
To reason away
              E 
What seems to be
Dbm7 E      Dbm7 E        Gbm7        
Is   always ■    ■ better than nothing
     B       B7 E        Dbm7 E
Than nothing ■  ■ at all ■    ■
