     Dm7  Fdim     G      
I'll never be the same 
Dm7       Fdim        G     Fdim C   A7 Dm7 G7 
Stars have lost their meaning for me 
     Dm7  Fdim     G      
I'll never be the same  
Dm7      Fdim    G    Fdim     C  Dm7 Fdim C 
Nothing's what it once used to be 
    G       C7M/9              C7  Gm7           C7 
And when the song birds that sing tell me it's spring 
F7M     Fdim   F7M  Em7  F Edim 
 I can't believe    their song 
Am7           D7   Am7 
Once love was king,    
     D7   Dm7     G    Cdim Dm7 G7 
But kings can be wron 
     Dm7  Fdim     G      
I'll never be the same  
Dm7     Fdim     G  Fdim     C   A7 D G7 
There is such an ache in my heart 
C7M/9           C7  C7M/9       C7M   F7M Fdim 
Never be the same      since we're apart 
       G7        F          Dm7       Bb9   G 
Though there's a lot that a smile may hide 
C           C/B    A7 
I know down deep inside 
     Dm7  Fdim     G    
I'll never be the same 
F     Dm7     G6 Dm7 C 
Never be the same again
