G                D                  Am     C
Long handwritten note, deep in your pocket
G                      D                              Am    C
Words, how little they mean, when you're a little too late
  G                  D                      Am     C
I stood right by the tracks, your face in a locket
     G                      D                    Am    C
Good girls, hopeful they'll be and long they will wait


[Chorus]

   G      D                Am          C
We had, a beautiful, magic love there
       G    D                 Am   G/B C
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love a---ffair


G D Am C


[Verse]

   G         D                      Am     C
In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation
        G              D               Am     C
We both wake in lonely beds, different cities
    G       D                       Am          C
And time is taking it's sweet time erasing you
    G                          D                         Am   C
And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me


[Chorus]

         G      D                Am          C
Cause we had, a beautiful, magic love there
       G    D                 Am   G/B C
What a sad, beautiful, tragic love a---ffair


G D Am C


[Bridge]

Am                C
Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting
G                       D
Silence, the train runs off its tracks
Am                            C
Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen
G                     D                Am*   G/B*     C*   C*  (*once)
Hang up, give up, and for the life, of us we can't get back


G


[Chorus]

  D                 Am          C
A beautiful, magic, love there
       G    D                  Am                 C
What a sad, beautiful, tragic, beautiful, tragic, beautiful
        G      D                 Am           C
What we had, a beautiful, magic, love there
       G    D                  Am   G/B C
What a sad, beautiful, tragic, love a---ffair
   G      D                 Am           C
We had, a beautiful, magic, love there
       G    D                  Am*  G/B* C    G* (*once)
What a sad, beautiful, tragic, love a----ffair
