If I showed up.....to your wedding 
          F *        Am      C/G
wearing black and blue and red 
          Am  F *      C/G
wouldn't it....seem fitting 
               F *          Am           F * - C/G
cause I'm as bruised and angry as I've ever been. 
 
  G             Am          F *
  There was a time when I called you,

           Am    F *             C/G
This old house.....is cold and empty 
       F *        Am        C/G
even these old walls have been. 
         Am  F *             C/G
I laid down.... you're not with me. 
        F *       Am     C/G
Waking up just sinks it in. 
 
  G             Am          F *
  There was a time when I called you,

There's no gold on either side of the Mississippi, 
     F *             Am           C/G
No silver in this world left to find. 
           Am   F *                C/G
Precious metal......and precious memories 
       F *         Am             C/G
slip away, slip away, from your finger-and-your-mind. 
 
  G             Am          F *
  There was a time when I called you, 
  G             Am          F *     -  C/G
  There was a time when I called you mine.
