F /D - /C
1) This is the last time I'll look across this table -
2) There was a tide turning somewhere deep inside us.
3) As the rain falls I listen to the radio -
F Gm/Bb Bb Eb/Bb - Bb
1) and try to face a feeling I don't even recog - nize.
2) When all these years together seem lost behind my tears.
3) and try to memorize the words to "Georgia On My Mind"
C Dm/C F/C
1) This is a sad hand that reached across and touched you,
2) Oh there were good times but in between the dog days -
3) But we're no old song we never stood the test of time.
C Bb/F F Bb/F
1) when all we'd built around us came crashing to the ground
2) I felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears.
3) The lies inside the rumour left trust so far be-hind.
CHORUS:
F Cm/A D7 Gm7
But I still tried to love you, I still tried to care.
Bbm F /D /C-/D F
Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers.
Cm/A D7 Gm7 Bbm
But you can't fight the rumour - you can't argue with you heart, no.
F G Ab F/A Bb Bbsus Bb F G Ab F/A Bb Bbsus Bb
Once the ru - mour spreads, once the ru - mour spreads,
F G Ab F/A Bb Bbsus Bb Bbm F {intro}
Once the ru - mour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past.
Ab Eb Bb F
And when we say goodbye, be sure to look me in the eye.
Ab Eb Gm7 Csus C
And know the real secret was the thing we didn't have to hide.
{Repeat Chorus}
