C
you and me
G
had some history
        F
had a semblance of honesty
C              G
all that has changed now
C
we shared words
G
only lover speak
 F
how can it be
 C                  G    C G F C G
we are less than strangers

Chorus:
       Am                G
oh it hurts to lose in love
    F
let anger and cruelty win
        Am                       G
it's unfair that you doubt your feelings
                F
and that you'll ever love again
    Am                   G
I know that hearts can change
          F
like the seasons and the wind
     Am            G
but when I said forever
                 F
I thought that we'd always be friends

You and me had some history
Had a semblance of honesty
All that has changed now
We shared words
Only lovers speak
How can it be
We are less than strangers

Chorus:
I thought I saw you yesterday
I thought I passed you on the street
I swear I saw your face
I was not imagining
That you stole a glance my way
You walked away from me
My heart it may be broken
But my eyes are dry to see

You and me had some history
Had a semblance of honesty
All that has changed now
We shared words
Only lovers speak
How can it be
We are less than strangers
