She looked me in the eye and said, "It's over."
|F       -        G            |C
I can't take this heartache anymore."
    |C         -         G               |F
She said, "Don't tell me lies and try to please me.
     |F                           |G
I've heard it all so many times before."

      |C      -       G                    |F
And I took her by the arm and said, "Don't leave me!
        |F      -       G                |C
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do.
     |C       -         G                 |F
Just give me time, I'll be the man you've needed."
             |F      -         G                 |C
She said, "I wish that I could take that for the truth."

             |F     |F            |C                |C
And I said, "Someday, I'll get my life straight."
                    |G      |G               |C         |C
And she said, "It's too late; what's done is done."
                 |F       |F
And I told her, "Someday!"
             |Am7       |Am7
She said, "I can't wait;
                |G     |F -  G     |C         |C
Cause sometimes someday just never comes."

           |G/B (or Bm)                     |F
She said, "All I've ever wanted was to love you,
    |F      -        G               |C
And somewhere deep inside me I still do.
    |G/B (Bm)                      |F
But now I think it's time I stop believing,
          |F                          |G
Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you.

And I said, "Someday, I'll get my life straight."
And she said, "It's too late; what's done is done."
And I told her, "Someday!"
She said, "I can't wait;
Cause sometimes someday just never comes.
              |G     |F -  G     |C   -   G   |C [stop]
Oh, sometimes someday just never comes."
