INtro – E

(chorus)
Now I don’t care if I’m not the first love you’ve known,
Just so I’ll be the last,
Now I don’t care if I’m not the first one you’ve kissed,
Darling, I’ll never ask,

(verse 1)
Yesterday’s gone, love me from now on,
Be true to me, forget about the past,

Now I don’t care if I’m not the first love you’ve known,

A B7 E – A – E – A – E – B7 – A – B7 – E

Just so I’ll be the last,

(verse 1)
Yesterday’s gone, love me from now on,
Be true to me, forget about the past,

(chorus)
Now I don’t care if I’m not the first love you’ve known,
Just so I’ll be the last,
Darling, I’ll never ask,

(verse 1)
Today I burned your old love letters,
I burned them gently one by one,
And as I light the flame I read it,
So I could see what you had done,

(chorus)
The first you wrote me was the sweetest,
The last one broke my heart in two,
Our love now lies among the embers,
In the ashes of your letter, I am blue,

(lead chords – E – B7 – E – B7 – E – E7)

(verse 2 )
As I burned your old love letters,
It brough back memories from the past,
It told about you and your new love,
A love I knew could never last,

(chorus)
The first you wrote me was the sweetest,
The last one broke my heart in two,
As I light the flame I read it,
For I can say I still love you,

Outro – E – B7 – E – B7 – E – E7

You may see me walkin’
You may hear me talkin’
But the words I speak won’t ever be about you
You once left me cryin’
And now you’re still tryin’
To make amends by saying you’ll be true

Like a fool I played along
With your cheatin’ game
Now my heart is payin’ for
The things you did with shame

You may see me walkin’
You may hear me talkin’
But the words I speak won’t ever be about you

Instrumental break

Like a fool I played along
With your cheatin’ game
Now my heart is payin’ for
The things you did with shame
You may see me walkin’
You may hear me talkin’
But the words I speak won’t ever be about you
No, the words I speak won’t ever be about you
