 Am9 Am9        Em11 Em11
Perhaps there's a thing or two

Am9 Am9               Em11 Em11
Well maybe I might have changed
C   Cmaj9       F/F9   G (Fill-1)     Am9 Am9  Em11 Em11  
And not been so cruel, not been such a fool
Am9 Am9         Em11 Em11
Whatever was done is done
C Cmaj9       F/F9    G (Fill-1)       Am9 Am9  Em11 Em11
