Intro: Am Fmaj7 G Am Fmaj7 G 
 
Am                      G 
She left on Sunday afternoon 
                       Fmaj7                       Cadd9 G6      
It is the only way for everyone concerned, she said 
Am                       G 
And I could only ask her why 
                                Fmaj7                Cadd9 G6  
But she just smiled and told me one day I would learn 
 
A               D                  E   
Don't you worry this will all make sense tomorrow 
A              D                   E               F#m   
Don't be sorry that everything we shared will fade away 
D                       E               F#m 
There's so much more to see in each new day 
D                  E               D 
They'd never understand I'm not an ordinary girl 
 
Am                          G 
She took nothing but her clothes 
                       Fmaj7                            Cadd9 G6      
Taking more would just remind her of her past, she said 
Am                         G 
I thought I'd never laugh again 
                   Fmaj7                    Cadd9 G6 
On the day I said goodbye to my best friend 
 
 
A               D                  E   
Don't you worry this will all make sense tomorrow 
A              D                   E               F#m   
Don't be sorry that everything we shared will fade away 
D                       E               F#m 
There's so much more to see in each new day 
D                  E               D 
They'd never understand I'm not an ordinary girl 
 
Am Fmaj7 G Am Fmaj7 G 
 
A               D                  E   
Don't you worry this will all make sense tomorrow 
A              D                   E               F#m   
Don't be sorry that everything we shared will fade away 
D                       E               F#m 
There's so much more to see in each new day 
D                  E               D 
They'd never understand I'm not an ordinary girl 
 
A D E A D E F#m | Fade out
