The last time I saw her
Was the night she said good-bye
She said that love's a stranger
And it's sure to pass you by
As she packed up her belongings
She wouldn't look me in the eye
But I could see a tear roll off her face
As we both tried so hard
Not to cry she said

I never wanted the stars
I never shot for the moon
I like them right where they are
All I wanted was you
So baby just turn away
Because I can't face the [bad word] All I'm trying to say is
All I wanted was you

I tried so hard to remember
Where when how why love went away
I tried to drown myself in pity
But your memory kept calling your name

I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings
Baby all the things that money brings
And the servants to paint the skies blue
And I worked so hard seven days a week
And built a fortress for your heart to keep
If I could I'd wrap these words up for you

I may have built for you a dream house
But never thought you were alone
I filled the party up [bad word] But never made our house a home
All I got is my guitar these chords and the [bad word] All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you
