Verse 1:
 
F              Am7     Am6 
I'll be taking flowers 
       Bb7M           D/F#  D7/F# 
To the cemetery of my heart 
Gm            C7 
For all of my lovers

In the present and in the dark 
Gm        Bbm 
Every anniversary 
     Am/C             D4   D7 
I'll pay respects and say I'm sorry 
Gm             C 
For they never stood 
Am7b5                D4  D7 
A chance, as if they could 
Gm                Gm/C           C     F 
When no one knows what it's like to be us

A little bit more 
Gm               Bbm 
Now that all the dust has settled

I rebut all my rebuttals

No one knows what it's like to bе us

Oh, I hope that someday I'll learn

To nurture what I've done
